Need help registering for a COVID-19 vaccine? Grand Prairie has you covered

Grand Prairie is putting out a call to residents who need help registering online for the COVID-19 vaccine.

On Tuesday, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Charley Taylor Recreation Center, 601 East Grand Prairie Road, city staffers will be available to help with registration.

The drive-through event is only for registering for the vaccine, and no vaccines will be administered, according to the city.

Grand Prairie has it’s own vaccination site at The Theatre at Grand Prairie, 1001 Performance Place. The site opened on Feb. 3 and administered its 500 vaccine allotment on the same day.

The site reopened on Feb. 10 and quickly administered a second 1,000-vaccine allotment. The site hasn’t reopened since.

In the early stages of the vaccine rollout, doses are being reserved for frontline health care workers, first responders, people over the age of 65 and people with certain underlying health conditions who are especially vulnerable to the virus, otherwise referred to as groups 1A and 1B.
