Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell on Tuesday said the county could have 70% of its population vaccinated from COVID-19 by Memorial Day. When the county reaches the 70% vaccination rate, he said, it can close its vaccination hubs and people who need vaccines can go to pharmacies or their own doctors.
According to data from the Texas Department of Heath and Human Services, 25.7% of Williamson County s population ages 16 and older have been fully vaccinated as of Tuesday, and 41.7% have received at least one vaccine dose in the county.
Gravell said 52,000 people, or 71%, of the county s population ages 65 and older have been vaccinated. The county s population of residents ages 65 and older is estimated at 73,202.
