The City of San Antonio is distributing thousands more doses of the COVID-19 vaccines, both Pfizer and Moderna versions, to eligible residents. Three distribution centers have been announced so far. You can get the vaccine at the Alamodome, the WellMed Elivira Cisneros Community Center, and the Alicia Treviño López Senior Community Center. Many spots have already been filled.

People who are most at risk are being accepted, those in groups labeled Phase 1A and 1B:

• 1A Workers at: Hospitals Long-Term Care facilities EMS 9-1-1 Home Health Outpatient ER/Urgent Care Pharmacies Last Responders School Nurses

After Phase 1, who gets the vaccine next and when?

Spring 2021 is the best estimate of when vaccine will be available for the general public, but that may change. It depends on vaccine production and how quickly other vaccines become available. The Expert Vaccine Allocation Panel (EVAP) is considering what criteria could be used for later stages of vaccine distribution. This webpage will be updated when those decisions are completed.
