“This launch is a testament that teamwork pays off. I am proud of the efficient process we have put in place, and I am grateful to Governor Greg Abbott and the state for the vaccines we received to launch these two sites,” Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell said in a prepared statement. “We know that the COVID-19 vaccines are saving lives, that is why we need more doses so we can meet the County’s demand.”
Officials said a total of 6,000 COVID-19 vaccines were provided to FHS on Wednesday, and an additional 8,000 vaccines were received on Friday.
Residents eligible to receive the vaccine under the Texas Department of State Health Services Phase 1b can sign up to be on the Family Hospital Systems waitlist. For more information, visit the Family Hospital Systems website.
