Do I need to get vaccinated if I ve already recovered from COVID-19?
Travis County health officials say, yes. Immunity from the COVID-19 vaccine may last longer than the natural immunity you get if you ve already had COVID-19.
People who currently have COVID-19 should not be vaccinated until they have completed their 10 day isolation after testing positive for COVID-19. Once you have recovered from COVID-19, and are eligible, you should get vaccinated.
How effective will the vaccine be against COVID-19?
Different vaccines are proving to have different efficacy rates, Travis County health officials said. All currently authorized vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe disease and death if you do contract the disease, and range from 70-95% effective at preventing disease altogether.

The new program was extended through the end of the school year (June 30th) by the federal government.
The meals provided are given to anyone under the age of 18. If a family shows up to a pickup site during the designated time, they can get meals for their students, at no cost. We serve about 10,000 meals per week. That is breakfast and lunch, said Greg Stephens, Academy School District 20 Contracts Officer.
Once the meals are packaged, they are distributed at various times at seven different schools.
