Only certain locations have the shots. The complete list is available on the Dallas County Web site.

The target groups include pregnant women, anyone 6 months to 22 years old, caregivers of babies younger than 6 months old and people 25 through 64 with underlying health conditions.

In Tarrant County, flu shots will be available on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Resource Center in southeast Fort Worth.
