The life-saving American Rescue Plan is providing urgently-needed resources to defeat the virus, getting vaccines in El Pasoans’ arms, putting money into hard-working families’ pockets, returning children safely to classrooms, and putting people back to work.
As part of American Rescue Plan’s national vaccination program, the City of El Paso is administering COVID-19 vaccines to all residents who are 12 years old or older. To schedule an appointment or learn about locations and hours of operations of clinics as well as walk-up sites that don’t require an appointment, visit www.epcovidvaccine.com. Vaccines have also been distributed to other local providers and I encourage you to visit the Texas Department of State Health Services website to find a provider near you.
The City of El Paso has a hotline for residents to call for more information regarding COVID-19 resources and the COVID-19 vaccine. The number is 915-21-COVID, or 915-212-6843.
Additionally, the City of El Paso continues to operate mobile testing centers throughout the city for any symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals. For more information on locations and operating hours, please click here.
