TEXAS – The state health department doesn’t have a central place to sign up for inoculation. Instead, health officials have told Texans to use the state’s vaccine provider map to find out where to get vaccinated.
While vaccines are still in limited supply, some places in North Texas have created ways for eligible residents to sign up to be alerted when a vaccine is available for them.
Currently, residents who are in Phase 1A and Phase 1B of the state’s vaccination plan can sign up for a COVID-19 vaccine online.
People eligible under the first two phases in Dallas County include first responders, health care providers, people over 65 and those over 18 who have an underlying medical condition.
While the state’s definition of Phase 1B includes people 16 and older with a medical condition, Dallas County is currently only distributing the Moderna vaccine, which is approved only for people 18 and older.
Registration can be completed online, and is open only to Dallas County residents.
Collin County
Collin County residents eligible under phases 1A and 1B can sign up on the county’s vaccine waitlist online.
The waiting list will let residents know where they are in line for the vaccine and allow them to schedule an appointment once a vaccine is available.
Tarrant County
Tarrant County residents who are eligible under phases 1A and 1B can register for a vaccine online.
The county is only distributing the Moderna vaccine, so only people aged 18 and older eligible under Phase 1B can currently register.
Eligible residents will be notified when a vaccine is available and when and where they are scheduled to be vaccinated. After eligible residents get their first dose, an appointment for their second dose is scheduled for them.
Denton County
Denton County residents are able to find information about how to sign up to be vaccinated through the county’s health department online. Only residents under phases 1A and 1B can currently sign up.
People registered through the county will receive an appointment to be vaccinated through its drive-through clinic.
Registration for the county’s first vaccine clinic is closed, but will open up again once the county receives more vaccines from the state.
JPS Health Network
JPS Health Network is currently offering COVID-19 vaccines to JPS Health patients eligible under Phase 1B. To get vaccinated at JPS Health locations, people in Phase 1B must be over 18.
Vaccines are available at Southeast Medical Home, Northeast Medical Home and the Stop Six Clinic. Appointments can be made online or over the phone.

UT Southwestern has begun vaccinating patients eligible under Phase 1B. The hospital is only vaccinating existing patients, or people who have been seen by a UTSW provider in the last three years.
Existing patients will be notified through their online MyChart accounts when they become eligible and can make an appointment.
Healthcare Associates of Texas
