More Vaccines in Frisco: 74 New CVS locations Offering Shots
PLANO, TX – CVS Health will soon offer immunization at 74 additional stores throughout Texas. This change significantly ups the chance of getting your shot in Frisco, so keep checking for appointments!
On Thursday it was announced that new CVS locations will be added to the 106 locations that are already administering the doses to patients. This will bring the total to 180 CVS pharmacies open for giving the vaccine in Texas.
What happens in Frisco?
The CVS locations in the Denton, Dallas, Tarrant, and Collin counties are mentioned among those that are administering vaccines to all people who meet the eligibility criteria for getting their doses. This means that residents Frisco will definitely have more chances to schedule their vaccines soon and find an available appointment slot.
When will the new locations begin their activity?
CVS has communicated that it will begin to give the new shots this Sunday. Getting an early start is a great way to ensure as many people as possible can have their vaccines in a timely manner.
What about scheduling appointments?
While it’s very good to know new locations will be open for patients to have their shots, the problem with booking an appointment has also been on everyone’s mind a lot lately. Having doses available without backing them up with active booking slots will not work in a practical way.
CVS comes to fulfil that need, too. According to a news release, the appointments for the most recent allocation will become available to be booked starting Saturday, March 13.
What do you need to do to receive your COVID-19 vaccine?
You will need to register for your vaccine on CVS.com. You can also use the CVS Pharmacy app if that’s more convenient for you.
Is there any solution for those who don’t have internet access?
Yes, having internet is not a required condition to get your appointment scheduled. All those who don’t have internet access should call the CVS Customer Service Line at this number: 800-746-7287.
Are walk-ins accepted?
Can you just show up at a CVS location and ask for the vaccine? No, walk-ins will not be accepted or allowed.
Where can you find the list of CVS vaccine locations?
The list will be available online at this link. The locations will appear gradually as stores receive the vaccine shipments and new appointments are opened up.

The CVS pharmacies participating in the program are located in the following counties: Anderson, Angelina, Bexar, Brazoria, Cameron, Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Ellis, Fort Bend, Harris, Hidalgo, Jim Wells, Johnson, Lubbock, McLennan, Montgomery, Smith, Tarrant, and Williamson.
