Furthermore, in Hays County 53,677 and in Texas 6,093,293 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.
NOTE: As of 11/4/2021, children 5-11 are included in the vaccination numbers and percentages and the eligible population denominator is now all Texans 5 years of age and older. This has changed the percentages.

76,000 unvaccinated including myself.
Those who die from the jab, the authorities say it could have been worse. . .
They say those dead might have gone on living unvaccinated--heaven forbid.
sangre pura
Pure blood right here! No genetic mutation in my blood.
Now they are telling us cloth masks are not effective.
And, still people "virtue signal" decoded: Mass Formation Psychosis.
Its all about control. Look what is happening in Canada.
Where is BLM standing up for "my body my rights" or the right to free speech?
Oh, that's right they think free speech is burning down cities.
