Get your shot

Thousands of people who were waiting for full approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine by the Food and Drug Administration have started scheduling their first dose. Have you scheduled yours?

The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is also available under emergency use authorization for individuals 12 through 15 years of age and for the administration of a third dose in certain immunocompromised individuals. Other vaccines—Moderna and Johnson & Johnson—are still available under emergency authorization.

The district continues to work with community health partners to offer vaccination clinics that are convenient for staff and eligible students. Information will be shared as the clinics are scheduled.

Meanwhile, vaccines are widely available throughout Dallas County in health clinics, hospitals, pharmacies and through private medical professionals. For more information about where to find the vaccine, visit https://www.dallasisd.org/covidvaccine or visit Dallas County’s vaccine information page at https://www.dallascounty.org/covid-19/covid-19-vaccination.php.

Employees who are fully vaccinated are eligible to receive a one-time $500 payment from the district. To learn more about how you can see this money in your paycheck, visit www.dallasisd.org/vaccineincentive.
