Although appointments are still preferred, each site began allowing walk-ins April 26, the health department reported. Four of the vaccine sites also began operating under extended hours.
“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,” Mayor Sylvester Turner said in a news release. “Getting vaccinated is key to helping our lives get back to normal.”
Similarly, the mass vaccination site at NRG Stadium, which is run by the Harris County Public Health, began accepting walk-ins April 19. It shifted operating hours to noon to 9 p.m. beginning April 21.
As of April 26, over 2.7 million vaccinations have been administered in Harris County including the city of Houston. Overall, 32% of the county’s 1.1 million residents over the age of 16 were fully vaccinated, according to date from the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.
