Cars were backed up for blocks as residents waited in line for hours for the COVID-19 vaccine at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Saturday.
The City of Dallas expanded the center's operating hours from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. to make sure it would get through all 5,000 doses. The city tweeted at 8:36 p.m. that all the vaccines had been given out.
Sally Jackson was among the hundreds crawling along car length, by car length.
“About two and a half hours,” Jackson said, still about halfway through. “It’s been okay, as long as I get my vaccine.”
Near the end of the wait, Sandra Morales told WFAA she'd waited more than four hours.
“It’s been hard,” Morales said. “It’s a long wait.”
