Tarrant County officials are encouraging residents to sign up for the coronavirus vaccine even if they aren't yet eligible.

While doses are limited to certain groups, signing up now could help get vaccinations out faster once the vaccine becomes more available, said Vinny Taneja, the county's public health director.

People registering now also allows the public health department to plan for other phases instead of dealing with a rush of registrations when other groups become eligible, Taneja said on Tuesday.

This is great news. I also saw they rolled out registration numbers recently so you can see where you are in line.

Dallas sent out the same message a week ago. I put my whole families name in but am not expecting much given the poor performance of the County Health Department so far.

My second dose yesterday from Tarrant/Arlington Fire was quick and easy. They really have the system down.

Harris County website says the same. I registered last week even though I'm not yet eligible.

Got mine through Tarrant County 2 weeks ago at the Hurst Conference Center. In and out in an hour.

I'm 33 with really bad asthma. Apparently that qualified me.

Me to. I'm probably bottom of the list, but I've been on the waitlist since last week through the county.

Per TX and Harris, my asthma doesn't qualify me. I assume you just drove up without an appt.?

That's not per Texas. That's a judgement that whatever entity you registered through made.

Texas says 1b includes people "with at least one chronic medical condition that puts them at increased risk for severe illness from the virus that causes COVID-19." They provide examples, but don't define what that is. I've seen documentation both ways on asthma, so you could make a case for it.

Registered online on Dec 31st. Got an email on Jan 18 for an appt Jan 20. Said to show up between 9-11AM so I showed up at 8:50. Was back in my office in Downtown FW by 10:30

I have been waiting since January 10th in Tarrant County. I am 70 with high blood pressure, on meds since 1968. Nothing so far, still waiting. I was told by Tarrant County health dept. that many are signing up not in 1b but they go on the honor system and they do not check. So I wait.

You should double check on your sign up to make sure you are actually in the system. Just to be sure,
