Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell on Tuesday said the county could have 70% of its population vaccinated from COVID-19 by Memorial Day. When the county reaches the 70% vaccination rate, he said, it can close its vaccination hubs and people who need vaccines can go to pharmacies or their own doctors.
According to data from the Texas Department of Heath and Human Services, 25.7% of Williamson County s population ages 16 and older have been fully vaccinated as of Tuesday, and 41.7% have received at least one vaccine dose in the county.
Gravell said 52,000 people, or 71%, of the county s population ages 65 and older have been vaccinated. The county s population of residents ages 65 and older is estimated at 73,202.

Whites, who comprise 63 percent of households with cars, made up 61 percent of those stopped; Hispanics and Latinos accounted for 22 percent of stops while making up 23 percent of households with cars, and Asians and Pacific Islanders made up 4 percent of traffic stops as 6 percent of households with cars.
The report offers little comparative data on racial profiling beyond that.
Two pages of the document show 12 data points related to the stops, such as whether and why a search was conducted and whether officers found “contraband,” but it does not break down any of those statistics by the race of the driver.
