Parkland Hospital in Dallas will start offering Pfizer vaccine booster shots for those who are eligible on Monday.
Parkland will give the COVID-19 vaccine booster shot to those age 65 years and older, and for residents in long-term care settings.
People who are aged 18 through 64 years and are at high risk of severe COVID-19, or are at increased risk of exposure and transmission because of work are also eligible.
Stephen Love head of the DFW hospital council says this will go a long way in adding protection to those needing it most. But Love says we still must continue to wear masks.
People looking to get the Pfizer booster shot are reminded to bring their vaccine cards to their various clinics. If you have received Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines, there is no approved booster at this time.
