When and where Texans can get the COVID-19 vaccine

Who can get it now?

All Texans 16 and older are eligible to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

If I qualify, where can I get it?

You can make an appointment with a pharmacy, hospital, clinic or other provider. The city offers text alerts about opportunities to get appointments with public providers — to sign up, text Vaccine or, for alerts in Spanish, Vacuna, to 55000.

Providers are listed on a map on the Texas Department of State Health Services COVID-19 vaccine information page at

bit.ly/2jvpru3. Scroll down to “How to Find Vaccine” for a list of locator tools. Call ahead to make sure a provider has doses available.

VIA Metropolitan Transit offers free rides to or from an appointment at a city- or county-sponsored COVID-19 vaccination site. Check Viainfo.net for the latest service updates.

Here’s where some major providers stand now:

City: The city and Healthcare Access San Antonio have a vaccine wait list open to all Texas adults. Priority will be given to those 65 and older. To sign up, register online in English at

sanantonio.gov/waitlist or in Spanish at sanantonio.gov/listadeespera. To register by phone, call 311 and select option 8 or call 210-207-6000 to speak with an operator. Phone lines are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. Registrants’ information will be in a secure database accessed only by vaccine providers, who will email or call them to schedule

their appointments. Until vaccines become more readily available, it may take several weeks to get an appointment. Seniors 75 and older may continue showing up at the Alamodome in the afternoons without appointments to get vaccinated. More information is at bit.ly/35e0u7y.
