Garland Health Department Creates COVID-19 Vaccine Wait List |
The Garland Health Department is registering individuals included in Phase 1A and Phase 1B for COVID-19 vaccinations as vaccine becomes available.
Phase 1A includes frontline health care workers such as firefighters, EMTs, school nurses and long-term care facility residents and staff. Phase 1B includes those age 65+ and those with underlying health conditions.
We do not have a time frame for shipments at this time. Updates will be posted to GarlandTX.gov/COVIDVaccine and to the City’s Twitter and Facebook pages as they become available.
