The COVID-19 vaccine rollout got off to a slow and confusing start.
But after approval of a third vaccine and the start of the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program, vaccine distribution has ramped up a bit in recent weeks.
The supply is still limited, though, and many providers will ask you to get on their waitlist.
Below are the vaccine hubs, pharmacies and other providers that are offering COVID-19 vaccines in Central Texas.
As of March 29, all adults are eligible to be vaccinated in Texas. The expanded eligibility means people 16 years and older will qualify to get a vaccine, though the Pfizer vaccine is the only one currently approved for people 16 and up. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are approved for people 18 years and older.
Vaccine hubs:
- A+ Life Style Medical Group (Bastrop County)
- Bell County Public Health District
- Baylor Scott & White Medical Center — Marble Falls (Burnet County)
- Hill Country Memorial Hospital (Gillespie County)
- Hays County Health Department
- Austin Public Health (Travis County)
