The Houston Health Department will accept walk-ins at all of its COVID-19 vaccination sites and extend hours at some sites starting Monday, April 26, 2021. Appointments remain available and preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.
“Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 should be easy and convenient for everyone, including people who may not be able to get to a vaccination site during typical business hours,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “Expanding the existing walk-in policy to all Houston Health Department sites and extending hours of operation will help ensure people have access to the lifesaving vaccines. Getting vaccinated is key to helping our lives get back to normal.”
The department currently offers Moderna vaccine, approved for people age 18 and older.
The department’s four health centers will now offer first dose vaccinations on Mondays from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Tuesdays through Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:20 p.m. La Nueva Casa de Amigos Health Center will also offer vaccinations on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The health centers are:
