A vial of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell said the county has administered more than 34,000 COVID-19 vaccines as of Friday. And as many still struggle to get an appointment, he said the county is working to ensure the vaccines reach the community s most vulnerable residents.
The county is planning to open additional vaccination sites and locations where people can go for help registering for a vaccine, Gravell said during a virtual press conference.
So far, vaccines have been administered through the county’s designated vaccine hub, Family Hospital Systems, at the Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex.
Going forward, Family Hospital Systems plans to start allocating some of its doses to other providers to expand the reach of the vaccine in the county and to help alleviate Family Hospital Systems waitlist, which has more than 136,000 sign-ups.
