Collin County has launched a new cooperative partnership with the Town of Fairview and several other local cities to assist in COVID-19 vaccine registration and distribution. The Town will not be administering vaccines to the public. The Town of Fairview, like many small and mid-sized cities, does not have the staffing or resources required to provide COVID-19 vaccines to the public. The Town is supporting Collin County’s efforts by promoting their COVID-19 vaccine wait list webpage.
Only Collin County residents who meet Texas Department of State Health Services Phase 1A or 1B criteria and vaccine specific minimum age requirement can register at this time. The online registration form will take requests in the order received, let the registrant know where they are in line for the vaccine, then notify them when vaccines become available from Collin County’s health department and schedule appointments.
In a recent Collin County news release, individuals were encouraged to contact their primary health care provider and their local pharmacy to inquire about additional vaccine availability because of the limited volume of vaccines available. Most private health care providers (pharmacies, hospitals, physicians) maintain their own vaccine waitlists separate from the Collin County wait list.
Visit the Collin County COVID-19 vaccine information webpage to sign up.
The Town of Fairview has received several phone calls and emails from individuals inquiring about how they or someone they know can receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
