Williamson County: Vaccines Available Here For Week Of April 5

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TX — Residents in and around Williamson County have several options when it comes to getting vaccinated against the coronavirus during the week of April 5.

All Texas adults are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine regardless of age, occupation or health status, according to Texas Department of State Health Services officials.

DSHS is still asking providers to prioritize appointments for people 80 years old or older and to prioritize walk-ins from anyone in that age group who shows up without an appointment.

To date, 232,280 doses have been administered to Williamson County residents and 82,085 of those residents have been fully vaccinated, according to data provided by DSHS.

As Williamson County's waitlist wanes, officials are also encouraging outside residents to sign up for vaccinations in the county. More on that story: Nearby Counties Encouraged To Get Vaccinated In Williamson

Here's how, when and where you can get vaccinated this week.

First, are you eligible for a vaccine?

According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, everyone age 16 and older is now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Texas.

Here's what we know so far: All Texas Adults Will Be Eligible For COVID-19 Vaccine On March 29

How do you register for a vaccine?

People must first pre-register on the county's centralized waitlist in order to receive an appointment.

If you need to reschedule your appointment with Family Hospital Systems, residents are encouraged to email support@familyhospitalsystems.com.

Have questions? Williamson County has set up a call center to serve as a resource for residents interested in COVID-19 vaccine information.

The call center number is 512-943-1600 and is answered Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Note: The call center cannot reschedule appointments.

I got my first dose and I haven't been able to get an appointment for my second dose. It's been more than 21-28 days. What do I do? Do I start over?

If you are unable to get your second dose in the recommended time frame, you do not have to start over.

While missing the suggested interval delays full protection, you can still get the second dose later if you have difficulty getting it within the recommended time. You will get full protection from the vaccine 1–2 weeks after getting your second dose.

Note: You can get vaccinated up to 42 days or 6 weeks later. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends you should not get the second dose earlier than the recommended 3- or 4-week interval.

COVID-19 vaccine distribution sites:

Round Rock Express' Dell Diamond will administer more than 5,000 coronavirus vaccines per day as a mass vaccination hub for Williamson County.

The site at 3400 E Palm Valley Blvd. in Round Rock will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday through Sunday and then will transition to being open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. All vaccine doses are scheduled by appointment only.

The Williamson County and Cities Health District is also working to vaccinate the county's vulnerable population with a vaccination location in Taylor at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church.
This site targets eligible residents who live in the eastern part of the county and are unable to transport to other sites.

This site is by appointment only with emailed invitations going to people from the county's centralized waitlist with zip codes on the east side of the county, as well as people referred to them from their community nonprofit partners.

A complete list of clinics, pharmacies and hubs offering the vaccine is available on the county health department's website.
