Texas Public Radio San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff join other officials at a press conference encouraging the unvaccinated to get the vaccine as soon as possible.
San Antonio health officials are doubling down on the urgency to get vaccinated as hospitalizations reach 418 people, a sharp increase compared to the beginning of July.
New infections, driven by the delta variant of the coronavirus, have risen dramatically in recent weeks now at 363 per day when new daily cases sat at 126 two weeks ago. Those contracting the virus by-and-large are unvaccinated, health officials said, with around 95% of those in the hospital are not fully vaccinated.
