Vaccination is the best form of protection against an infectious disease. A vaccine activates a person's immune system by creating antibodies that will help the body fight the virus and may help prevent disease if later exposed to the virus.
The City of El Paso is one of several healthcare providers able to dispense the vaccine. The City is now able to vaccinate at any City vaccination site, no appointment is needed.
Please review the FAQs below. If you have an issue with registering or booking your vaccine please submit an issue or call 915-21-COVID (915-212-6843).
Step 1
Currently the City of El Paso is providing vaccines to individuals 5 years of age and older.
Addresses and hours of operation are listed below.
Step 2
If you received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine be sure to note that you will need two COVID-19 vaccine doses to fully prepare your body to fight any potential COVID-19 infection.
When a vaccine requires two shots, the first shot helps your body recognize the virus and gets your immune system ready, while the second shot strengthens that immune response.
The Moderna vaccine dosing schedule recommends the second shot be given 28 days after the first shot, while the Pfizer vaccine dosing schedule recommends the second shot be given 21 days after the first shot.
If you don’t get the second shot on time, it’s recommended you get it as soon as possible. Even if you get the second shot late, you won’t have to repeat the first one.
Step 3
The third COVID-19 vaccine dose is available for moderately to severely immunocompromised individuals. A third dose will only be administered 28 days after receiving the second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
This includes people who have:
People should talk to their healthcare provider about their medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them.
CDC does not recommend additional doses of the vaccine (third shot) for any other population at this time.
CDC recommends that people with moderately to severely compromised immune systems receive an additional dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at least 28 days after a second dose of Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
Age:
Please Note:
Health officials note that this third dose is NOT a booster. The third dose follows 28 days after an initial vaccine series is administered to people who may not have a strong enough immune response after receiving the initial vaccine series. A booster dose is a supplemental dose given to individuals whose immune response has weakened over time and administered eight (8) months after an initial vaccine series is administered.
Step 4
The City is now administering the Moderna, Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, and Pfizer-BioNTech Booster vaccine to eligible adults. No appointment is necessary.
A booster shot can help strengthen protection against severe disease in populations whose immunity may have started to diminish and who are at high risk of exposure to COVID-19 or complications from severe disease.
The City is administering the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster to children ages 5 and up.
First Booster shot is available five months after an eligible person receives his or her second dose of a vaccine. A second booster shot is available for Adults ages 50 years and older or moderately to severely immunocompromised individuals ages 12 and up. The second booster is available at least four months after an eligible person receives his or her first booster shot. Third doses for moderately or severely immunocompromised children ages 5 to 11 should be administered 28 days after their second dose.
For individuals who received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are also recommended for those who are 18 years and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago. Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a “mix-and-match” booster dose
Step 5
Immunity is not achieved immediately after vaccination and the vaccine won't be available to everyone at the same time, so please continue following all health and safety protocols to protect yourself and those around you.
Wash your hands often with warm and soapy water for at least 20 seconds.
Keep a safe space of 6 feet between you and others.
Wear a face mask when going out in public.
Stay home if you are feeling sick and get tested.
