Hays County Emergency Services Director Mike Jones announced in Tuesday’s commissioners court meeting that 25,334 Hays County residents have been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Of the 25,334, 15,000 were vaccinated by Hays County. The remainder were vaccinated by registering in other counties.
Hays County’s vaccine clinic has continued to distribute second doses; around 829 each day this week at their clinic in Wimberley. Next week they will head back to the Performing Arts Center in Kyle.
The commissioners moved to set aside $15,000 from contingencies for expenses related to vaccine programs including feeding volunteers and additional supplies of syringes, needles and band-aids. The county has received some such supplies from the state, but Director of Countywide Operations Tammy Crumley said sometimes they are not receiving enough supplies or they are not adequate.

The San Marcos City Council approved the implementation of a voluntary renewable energy program for local utility customers during its meeting Tuesday night.
The San Marcos Electric Utility Division will now be able to implement a voluntary program allowing its customers to guarantee they are receiving 100% renewable energy in their homes.
The program through the Electric Reliability Council of Texas market allows SMEU to purchase renewable energy credits, purchased at a fixed rate for one year. Customers can opt in to the program for a small fee and keep their rate for one year.
As customers’ annual renewal comes up, they will be notified of any price changes and have the opportunity to opt back in or out. The price difference in the example given to San Marcos City Council was a $5 per month increase.
