The City of Arlington/Arlington Fire Department is actively planning to start COVID-19 vaccinations, beginning this week at the Arlington Convention Center.  

This morning they received doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. 

The City of Arlington/Arlington Fire Department, in cooperation with Tarrant County Public Health, will provide vaccinations to first responders and frontline healthcare providers who work or live in Arlington, Bedford, Colleyville, Dalworthington Gardens, DFW Airport, Euless, Grapevine, Hurst, Kennedale, Mansfield and Pantego.
