Family Hospital Systems will hold a 24-hour vaccination hub to begin on Saturday, March 6 at 8 a.m., and end on Sunday, March 7 at 8 a.m. at Kelly Reeves Athletic Complex in Austin.  This one-of-a-kind event is designed to increase vaccination awareness while encouraging residents to kick COVID-19 out of Williamson County.  Vax-A-Thon will only be open to eligible people in Categories 1A and 1B who register with FHS to receive the vaccine.  Participants will be taken from the Williamson County waitlist and will receive an email invitation to register for their vaccine appointment.  The public is advised that no vaccines will be administered to those without an appointment.

Williamson County is one of 77 Texas counties that fall under the federal Texas Severe Winter Storms disaster declaration. County Judge Bill Gravell has terminated our local disaster declaration as we are now covered under the federal declaration. Residents who sustained damage from snow and ice during the winter storms may apply for federal assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). If you have insurance, contact your insurance company first, and then FEMA. Your insurance claim information is needed to determine eligibility for federal assistance. Apply online at DisasterAssistance.gov. A copy of the local terminated disaster declaration can be found here.
