The site will be operating on Sept. 9 through Sept. 11 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Killeen Special Events Center.
Vaccines and tests are only available while supplies last, the city said.
The city added that it will have booster shots available for people who are immunocompromised with a doctor's note. The vaccine is also only available to those who are at least 12 years old. Their 15-minute rapid tests, however, are available to any age, the city said.
