After being one of many sites in North Texas to delay opening due to the weather, the Fair Park vaccination hub reopened Sunday with a priority given to those who are waiting for their second dose of the vaccine.
Originally, the vaccination hub closed Saturday, Feb. 13, due to dangerously cold temperatures. Once the second winter storm warning was underway, Fair Park extended its' closure through Saturday.
As temperatures begin to rise, the Fair Park site prepares to reopen in an attempt to give the second dose of the coronavirus vaccine to individuals within the 42-day timeframe the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends.
Dallas County ensures that there will be enough for everyone who received their first dose from Fair Park to receive the second dose.
