Hays County is in the planning phase of creating a vaccine “hub” model alongside Seton Hospital and other local partners with the goal of becoming more efficient with COVID-19 vaccine distribution, according to Hays County Emergency Management Coordinator Alex Villalobos.
By creating a larger group, Hays County expects to be able to advocate for larger numbers of the vaccine and to distribute them in a more centralized manner.
According to Villalobos, the hub model ran a trial in Austin with just over 10,000 vaccines distributed in a short period of time. They found the largest issue was inputting data into the vaccine computer data system, a problem they are looking to mitigate.
