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.

The Texas Rangers Alternate Training Site roster was announced last week, but with all the activity surrounding the start of the season we didn’t do a post about it or talk about who is there.
