Some drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites have closed or downsized over the last few months as vaccines rolled out and cases declined. But the highly contagious delta variant, and waning vaccination rates, has spurred a rise in infections once more. Travis County is now reporting an average of 330 new infections per day, a number not seen since February.
Whether or not you’ve been vaccinated, health officials encourage anyone with
symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, loss of smell or taste, for example) to get tested.

Hays County residents will now be able to pre-register for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine through a newly announced registry.
Residents can sign up to be placed on a waitlist at www.haysinformed.com/covid-19, rather than sign up for specific time slots. Pre-registration is open to the public as of Thursday.
“We are transitioning over to a more robust data management system which will allow citizens to pre-register for a vaccine dose when it becomes available,” Hays County Emergency Operations Director Mike Jones said. “This system allows individuals to take their time to pre-register and not feel rushed to ‘beat the crowd’ for an appointment.”
