A lot of eligible Texas are still unvaccinated, Texas shifts COVID vaccine strategies

A lot of eligible Texas are still unvaccinated, Texas shifts COVID vaccine strategies  Karen Brooks Harper, The Texas Tribune May 3, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Now it’s half that. County health officials will close the North Austin drive-thru hub in mid-May, shifting the responsibility to a growing number of doctors, pharmacies, public health offices and other smaller providers who have closer relationships with and easier access to the county’s estimated 200,000 eligible residents who haven’t yet gotten vaccinated. “We’re still moving along,” said Jen Stratton, director of communications for Family Hospital Systems in Williamson County, which partners with the county to run the hub. “Our focus is just changing.”

Williamson County closing its COVID-19 waiting list

Williamson County closed its COVID-19 vaccine waiting list at 5 p.m. Friday. Williamson County still has approximately 30,000 people on its waitlist; however, the county has found that only about 5% of the people invited to schedule an appointment are following through and making an appointment, according to a county news release.  Many already have received their vaccination from another provider. The names of people remaining on the county s waiting list will be sent to its mass vaccine provider, Curative, to schedule their vaccinations through early next week, the release said.  Another mass vaccine provider for the county, Family Hospital Systems, said it plans to close its drive-thru site at the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex on May 12. Until then, it will only be offering second doses of the vaccine at the complex, said Jen Stratton, a hospital systems spokeswoman.
