HAYS COUNTY, TEXAS – In Hays County, 166,357 and over 77.26% of eligible people, and in Texas, over 76.03% or 20,503,735 people 5 years and older have received their initial dose of vaccine.

Furthermore, in Hays County 55,742 and in Texas 6,375,064 have received a third dose (booster shot).

As vaccine distribution increases, more of the local Hays County and Texas population has received at least their first dose. Because of this, active case numbers and monthly COVID-19 related fatalities have decreased.

The COVID-19 vaccine teaches our immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19. It typically takes two weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19.

After you have been fully vaccinated, you may be able to start doing some things you had stopped doing because of the pandemic.

Many doctors’ offices, retail pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics offer COVID-19 vaccinations. The federal government is providing the vaccine free of charge to all people living in the United States, regardless of their immigration or health insurance status.
