DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – If you received a COVID -19 vaccination from Denton County Public Health, be on the lookout for a text or email this week about scheduling a booster shot.
According to an email from Denton County: The FDA, CDC, and the Texas Department of State Health Services recently approved booster doses for Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine recipients. Denton County Public Health (DCPH) will begin sending self-scheduling links to DCPH-vaccinated individuals eligible for a COVID-19 Pfizer booster dose early next week. Appointments will be available to self-schedule for individuals who are:
· Six months or more from their second Pfizer vaccine and;
· Meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) eligibility criteria
“Today’s announcement allows people to register for COVID-19 booster shots, and if you got a shot from Denton County Public Health, be sure to check your texts and emails for eligibility and scheduling in the coming days,” Denton County Judge Andy Eads said. “We’re working with private providers as well as our health department to make sure our residents have access to vaccine—from first doses to boosters for eligible folks.”
Those who received the Moderna or Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccinations are not yet eligible for a booster shot.
You can get booster doses from your primary care providers and/or pharmacies, as vaccine supply is readily available in Denton County.
