Family Hospital Systems hosted a "vax-a-thon" over the weekend to catch up on appointments rescheduled because of the storm and to allow folks to get vaccinated outside normal working hours.
Family Hospital Systems, the hub administering vaccines for Williamson County, hosted a first-of-its-kind vaccine marathon last weekend.
Health care workers administered 6,000 vaccines — both first and second doses — in a 24-hour “vax-a-thon” starting at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex.
Spokesperson Jen Stratton said the event was held to catch up on appointments that had to be rescheduled because of the winter storm and to “put a dent further in the Williamson County waitlist.”
