VACCINE INFORMATION
The Garland Health Department (GHD) is collecting names of persons to register for the COVID-19 vaccine waiting-list. Vaccination events will be scheduled as additional vaccine supply is received.
COVID-19 vaccine is still in very limited supply and being prioritized to Phase 1A health care workers and first responders and to adults who meet the Phase 1B criteria (65 and older, or those with underlying medical conditions). The vaccine is free.
To register for the vaccine with GHD at this time, you need to be:
- At least 18 years old
- Using the online form is the fastest way to get on the list
Those who are unable to complete the online form can register over the phone by calling the City of Garland’s COVID-19 Hotline at 972-205-3900, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The hotline is currently open seven days a week. Call volumes are anticipated to be high, exercise patience.
While the initial allocation of vaccines is for Garland, Rowlett, and Sachse, we anticipate future allocations will be available for anyone who qualifies, regardless of residency.
More COVID-19 vaccines will become available as manufacturing and distribution ramp up. Monitor the City’s Twitter and Facebook pages, as well as this page, for updates.
