Austin s and Travis County s top health leaders have said coronavirus vaccination and testing appointments will remain canceled until conditions from the historic winter weather improve.
Dr. Mark Escott, interim Austin-Travis County health authority, and Austin Public Health Director Stephanie Hayden-Howard usually update the public twice weekly on the latest vaccination efforts and other coronavirus data. However, those meetings were canceled after Escott and Hayden-Howard were called in to respond to weather-related emergencies at local hospitals once the severe winter storms began.
Austin Public Health released frequent updates on vaccination and testing cancellations throughout the week, but Escott and Hayden-Howard on Thursday issued new information saying appointments would be canceled for a seventh day because of dangerous roads and freezing conditions.
