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

The Hays County Commissioners Court voted on a resolution in support of the preservation of the Dunbar Home Economics Building and the restoration of the Naomi Cephas Wade House during its July 13 meeting.
Both buildings are a part of San Marcos Dunbar Historic District, a historically Black area in the city.
The Dunbar Home Economics Building is the only surviving property after a fire in 1986 that wiped out nearby buildings. It s also the only present-day African American school building in Hays County. The Naomi Cephas Wade House was facing demolition if not approved for restoration.
After the support demonstrated by Hays County citizens, calling the buildings historical and cultural treasures, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra and the commissioners explained why it was important to stand behind the decision.

Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra and Samuel Garcia, Governor-Elect of Nuevo Léon, Mexico, discussed commerce and economic development between the county and Mexico during a press conference Tuesday.
“There are great projects in motion,” Beccera said. “The idea here is to include you [those in attendance] in the thought process because many hands make the load light, the sun shines for everyone.”
Much of the discussion consisted of how Texas, more specifically Hays County and Nuevo Leon can work together to build more opportunities for their areas and residents.
“Nuevo Léon is first place in many topics,” Garcia said. “We are first place in GDP, first place in employment, first place on our universities, the finest universities of America Latina.”
