'We highly recommend parents get their kids vaccinated as soon as possible,' said Parkland pediatrician Cesar Termulo, MD. 'This is a very important step toward ending the spread of COVID-19. By vaccinating our children we're not only protecting them but we're also protecting their parents, grandparents, siblings, teachers and their classmates.'

To make it more convenient for Dallas County residents, Parkland is bringing the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to Dallas County neighborhoods. A mobile COVID-19 vaccination event will be held on Saturday, May 15 in Northwest Dallas. Those over the age of 12 can receive their first dose of the vaccine without an appointment between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at David G. Burnet Elementary School, 3200 Kinkaid Dr., Dallas, 75220.
