COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling

COVID-19 Vaccine Appointment Scheduling

The Abilene-Taylor County Public Health District (ATCPHD) is now offering online scheduling for COVID-19 Vaccine appointments for those who are eligible for 1A and 1B individuals (see the chart below). Choose your date and time and confirm your appointment online without the wait of a callback.

If You Were Signed Up for the Vaccine Waitlist

If you were already signed up for our previous waitlist, you are encouraged to use this self-scheduling feature to avoid having to wait on a call. Scheduling your own appointment will result in a better user experience than waiting for us to call you. However, we will continue to call people from the waiting list.
