Williamson County: Where To Get Vaccinated For Week of May 10

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TX — Are you looking to get a COVID-19 vaccine?

There are dozens of vaccinations sites in Williamson County that will continue to offer first and second doses to residents for the week of May 10.

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

But first, here's what you need to know before you start looking.

Texas DSHS announced Monday it will no longer allocate vaccines to providers each week now that the COVID-19 vaccine supply has increased.

That means, our weekly list of allocated vaccination sites will no longer be available.

On April 16, the county announced it will no longer accept names on its COVID-19 vaccine waitlist. Residents wishing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine will have to schedule directly with the provider of their choice.

Because the county will no longer accept names, the county plans to close its mass vaccination hubs in May as coronavirus cases drop and more than half of residents have received a first dose of the vaccine.

The county's Vaccine Registration Technical Assistance Sites and its COVID-19 hotline closed on April 30.

How many residents have received a vaccine?

To date, 460,458 doses have been administered to Williamson County residents and 202,975 of those residents have been fully vaccinated, according to data provided by DSHS.

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.

On Monday, the FDA approved teens age 12-15 to receive the Pfizer vaccine for emergency use.

Do you know someone who is eligible for a vaccine but doesn't have internet access? DSHS asks people to let them know they can call 833-832-7067 for referral to a local vaccine provider.

How do you register for a COVID-19 vaccine?

Since Williamson County will no longer accept names on its COVID-19 waitlist, residents wishing to receive the vaccine will have to schedule directly with the provider of their choice.

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.
