At its July 27 meeting, the Hays County Commissioners Court adopted a proclamation declaring August 2021 as National Immunization Awareness Month.
The council believes the presence of an immunization awareness month permits children, adolescents and adults the education and resources needed to safely receive available vaccinations. The council accepted the proclamation, and Eric Schneider, Hays County epidemiologist, provided more information to the commissioners on the county health department s promise to vaccinate children 12 years and older for free, even if they are uninsured.
âAnyone 12 years of age and up can do their part in helping slow down the spread of COVID-19 by becoming fully vaccinated,â Schneider says. âIn order to assist our community and getting every child fully vaccinated, the Hays County Local Health Department partnered with the Live Oak Health Partners Community Clinic to provide free vaccines to children uninsured or underinsured for the week

Tuesday’s Hays County Commissioners Court meeting saw much discussion around the proposed multi-year Improvement Grant Program application to the Texas Indigent Defense Commission (TIDC) for public defender services.
“The TIDC grant application that the county submitted requires judicial support to get funding from TIDC,” Commissioner Lon Shell said.
Shell spoke of the significance of implementing a mental health court into the Hays County justice system.
“During the development of the grant application that we submitted and supported, this court and many of our stakeholders agreed that mental health was a prime concern,” Shell said.
Shell explained that while this is just one issue to tackle, it can help make strides of improvement throughout the justice system.
