Hays County's vaccination effort continues to progress as more than 80,000 residents have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
As of Monday, the DSHS reports that 81,484 Hays County citizens have been fully vaccinated, approximately 44.43% of 183,380 eligible residents who are 16 years or older. Additionally, 103,742 county residents have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose — 56.57%. Although 12-15 year olds have been approved to receive a Pfizer vaccine, the DSHS has not yet factored that age range into its eligible population. The DSHS states that 654 Hays County adolescents between 12-15 have received a Pfizer vaccine dose.
Additionally, 89.33% of residents who are 65 years or older have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine, while 77.03% in the same age group are fully vaccinated, according to the DSHS.
