Curative is converting some of its COVID-19 testing kiosks to vaccination kiosks. Author: Daranesha Herron (KVUE) Updated: 10:54 PM CDT April 25, 2021
AUSTIN, Texas We ve seen more COIVID-19 vaccine providers start hosting walk-up vaccination clinics, and soon, vaccination kiosks will be added.
More than 10.5 million Texans have been vaccinated for coronavirus with at least one dose, equating to more than 47% percent of the eligible population.
Lately, providers have been making it easier to get a shot. Over the weekend, Austin Public Health (APH) and the Travis County Vaccine Collaborative at COTA held no-appointment vaccination clinics.
For those who missed the COTA event, the University of Texas is offering walk-up vaccinations Monday through Friday at Gregory Gym for anyone ages 18 and older, while supplies last.
Citing a decrease in demand, the Williamson County commissioners on Tuesday voted unanimously to close the county s mass vaccination sites in May.
The sites operated by Curative at the Georgetown High School Stadium in Georgetown and the Dell Diamond in Round Rock will both close on May 21.
The Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex on Parmer Lane, operated by Family Hospital Systems, will close on May 12, a spokeswoman has said. We have far exceeded demand, said County Judge Bill Gravell. Last week we had 5,570 people sign up for their first vaccine and we had 30,000 doses.
The judge said the mass vaccination site at the Georgetown stadium could have accommodated 187 more people on Monday and 322 more people on Tuesday. There is enough leftover vaccine doses for 861 people on Wednesday, he said.

As the demand for the vaccines decreases they re thinking about the next step which includes closing these mass vaccination sites and letting The vaccine be administered through clinics and pharmacies.
ROUND ROCK, Texas - The number of new COVID cases in Williamson County is dropping significantly.
Officials in Williamson County attribute their mass vaccination clinics to the decline and say nearly half their population has received at least one dose. We vaccinated around 375,000 people as of today. In fact, our supplies so far caught up with our demand, said Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell.
