State Representative Victoria Neave, State Representative, Chairman Rafael Anch\u00eda and other members of the Dallas County delegation also joined the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/2FQJkYBNYuERLUyfUdLs1YmnOwp1mPzgB6TK3d5U3ETj2NPy8qbLaBw4DSNxFYOkfLt2zkvd3b8iIqHQ-sFIoykTQ38EC2j-mEmQHorpuZcSBapGSh_ldNPG0fCw6lLbq3zcBuW8\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Senator Royce West\/Photo Courtesy of Senator Royce West&#8217;s Office<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>West said the vaccine was not a political decision, but a \u201chuman issue\u201d that everyone needed to consider. \u201cPlease take the vaccine,\u201d he emphasized during the call. \u201cYou see what\u2019s going on around the state, around the country and around the world.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The senator who received the vaccine Wednesday in Austin, said that while he felt \u201clight-headed for a few minutes,\u201d immediately after receiving the vaccine, he was otherwise \u201cfeeling ok.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) indicated that people don\u2019t typically have any serious side effects from vaccines in general, but there are some common side effects, including soreness where the shot was given or light headaches\u2014that are usually mild and go away quickly on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public support for the vaccine comes as the rates for positive cases across North Texas and the state continue to spike. For the third day in a row Wednesday Dallas County reported record high hospitalizations, with 2,427 new, positive 2019 Novel Coronavirus cases. With the rapidly rising cases, Senator West urged people to consider that the benefits could outweigh the risks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe know that they are still looking at clinical trials to see how long the vaccine will last,\u201d he added. \u201cBut what I can tell you, is that you will have a better opportunity to weather this storm if you take the vaccine than if you don\u2019t take it, given the number of cases that are going around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, who received the first dose of the vaccine at&nbsp; UT Southwestern Medical Center Thursday said that it\u2019s easy to understand why there is hesitation in communities of color.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur nation has an awful and reprehensible history of medical experimentation on African Americans,\u201d he said, citing that lack of access to adequate health care also played a major role in the reluctance or refusal to get vaccinated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/I0DfOCE7xQd4IsgqJxMNqpVGaoOKwVWVHDP7929vLMl3CgSmzd0RKg-kwkIXSPGJeuWQmRL23FbQgyODKoV2oBgIdl00WbPPUbjTF1e-3SQFQg93aImIKco_zhr4FF1IPpF9r_dz\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson\/Photo Courtesy of UT Southwestern Medical Center<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile the vaccine was developed in record time it has been tested in all types of people,\u201d he added Thursday. \u201cThese vaccines are safe, they have been proven effective and they will allow us to return to normal.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heightened news of the vaccine also came Thursday with the announcement of a COVID Vaccine \u201cMegasite,\u201d expected to open Monday at Fair Park in Dallas. Fair Park will be open for appointment-only vaccinations but doses will not be available to the general public or for walk-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are working feverishly to get the sites open that will increase vaccination to our 1B population next week,\u201d said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins in a prepared statement. \u201cIt will be an effort led by Dallas County but with the help of EMTs from all of our cities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jenkins said the key to successfully getting the vaccine would be found in an extra measure of both diligence and patience and he urged local residents to give the process time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[Be] patient in understanding that there\u2019s not enough vaccine to vaccinate everyone immediately but diligent in making sure you sign up for the registration list and any other list that you may be entitled to be a part of such as with your healthcare provider,\u201d he added.&nbsp;Eligible residents must register for the vaccine using a website provided by the county.
