Many urgent care clinics offer commonly requested vaccinations, including flu, tetanus and COVID-19 vaccines. Urgentology Care provides walk-in vaccination services in Arlington and Colleyville for eligible patients, including certain vaccines for children 12 months and older. Vaccine recommendations depend on your age, health history and immunization record. Availability can change by season and location, so call ahead if you need a specific vaccine.
Get your vaccine at Urgentology Care with a medical provider who can review your health history and answer questions. Our Arlington and Colleyville clinics are open seven days a week, making vaccination more convenient for busy families and working adults.
From seasonal flu vaccination to tetanus boosters and vaccines required for work or school, our team can review your immunization needs and help you understand available options. Vaccine eligibility and supply vary, so contact your preferred clinic to confirm availability.
A flu vaccine is recommended annually for eligible patients. Ask your provider whether you are also due for an updated COVID-19 vaccine based on current recommendations, age and health history.
After completing the recommended initial vaccination series, adults generally need a Td or Tdap booster every 10 years. Your provider can review your vaccination history and determine whether a booster is due.
A tetanus-containing vaccine may be recommended after a dirty or major wound if it has been five or more years since your last dose, assuming you completed the primary series. Additional treatment may be needed if your vaccination history is incomplete or unknown.
Starting a new job, school year or training program? Review the required immunization forms and bring your vaccine records. Our team can help determine which available vaccinations you may need.
For life-threatening symptoms such as severe difficulty breathing, throat swelling, chest pain, signs of stroke, or uncontrolled bleeding, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

No. Urgentology Care offers walk-in vaccination services at our Arlington and Colleyville clinics. However, vaccine availability can vary by season and location. Call ahead if you need a particular flu, tetanus or COVID-19 vaccine so our team can confirm availability.
Routine childhood immunizations are best coordinated with your child's pediatrician, who can track the complete vaccination schedule. Urgentology Care may provide certain vaccines for eligible children 12 months and older. Call ahead to confirm which pediatric vaccines are available at your preferred clinic.
Many insurance plans cover recommended vaccinations, although coverage depends on the vaccine, your plan, eligibility and provider network. Urgentology Care accepts a range of insurance plans. Contact your insurer or call our Arlington or Colleyville clinic to ask about the vaccine you need and any possible out-of-pocket costs.
Often, yes. Many vaccines can be given during the same visit when appropriate. For example, eligible patients may receive a flu vaccine and a COVID-19 vaccine at the same appointment. Your Urgentology Care provider will review your age, vaccination history and medical needs to determine the appropriate vaccines.
