DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – Dallas County Health and Human Services plans to resume vaccination efforts at Fair Park to offer free Covid-19 and Flu vaccines to Dallas County residents.
“Fair Park has become a well-known vaccination site in Dallas County,” said Dr. Philip Huang, DCHHS Director. “Since the CDC has approved vaccinations for children 5-11 and booster does for eligible people, DCHHS is reopening a vaccination site at Fair Park to help provide vaccinations to the community.”
According to Huang, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be available for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd doses. Vaccines will be available for children 5-11. A parent or a legal guardian’s consent is required for children under the age of eighteen to get vaccinated.
Operations will begin November 21 from 10 am to 4 pm and on Sundays only. The vaccination clinic is a drive-thru site located in lot 13 at Fair Park.
Appointments are not required, but pre-registration is encouraged. To register for the vaccine, visit: https://bit.ly/30vZ9QJ

According to the hospital, since the opening of the Ellis Davis Field House site in March 2020, Parkland administered more than 97,400 COVID-19 tests and 78,900 doses of COVID-19 vaccines at the location.
