In addition, UT Southwestern is offering vaccines by appointment at RedBird Mall in southern Dallas. Eligible individuals can choose to be vaccinated there or at our Market Hall or West Campus Building 3 locations in Dallas.

Currently, people are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine at UTSW if they meet the necessary state criteria or have a medical condition outlined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as carrying increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, including asthma, hypertension, and dementia. Those who meet these criteria and are not yet registered as a UT Southwestern patient in MyChart – UTSW’s secure, online health management tool – can complete the short online questionnaire so UTSW can contact them regarding their vaccination.
