Vaccinations available at Parkland's COPC's
Beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, April 26, Parkland Health will offer the second booster shot of the COVID-19 vaccine at Parkland's Community Oriented Primary Care (COPC) health centers located throughout Dallas County. Individuals are reminded to bring their vaccine card to their vaccination appointment.
COVID vaccinations are not available in the Parkland ER.
Public health experts have recommended a second booster shot to individuals who have a weakened immune system or who are 50 years and older and received their last COVID vaccine at least 4 months ago. The vaccine is available at no cost to the patient.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you may choose which COVID-19 vaccine you receive as a booster shot. Some individuals may prefer the vaccine type that they originally received, while others may prefer a different booster. CDC's recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.
