The city of Frisco opened their vaccine site on Tuesday after receiving 7,800 Pfizer doses from the state.
The Frisco Fire Department is running operations inside the old Sears store at Stonebriar Mall.
According to a social media post by Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney, the site vaccinated 700 people on Tuesday but believes it has the capability to vaccinate more than 2,000 people a day going forward.
Unlike other hubs, Frisco does not have a waitlist.
Instead people are encouraged to visit the city's website each day to secure an appointment for the following day. Once the next day's allotments are filled, registration is closed until the following day.
No walk-ups are allowed and Frisco is currently only making appointments for those in priority groups 1A and 1B under state guidelines.
Appointments for Thursday, February 4 will open later Wednesday evening, according to the city's website.
