Residents considered as part of the 1A and 1B groups can sign up using the same website as of last weekâs round of registration when the portal reopens at noon on Jan. 29.Â
Individuals can also call 512-938-1650 to register for a vaccination, however Becerra encourages only those without internet access to do so.Â
During the last round of sign-ups, all available slots were filled in less than half an hour. Becerra anticipates a similar outcome this round, with all slots to be gone in â15 to 20 minutesâ, which is why he is giving an advanced notice.

Hays County on Monday began inoculating residents with the COVID-19 vaccine after receiving doses for the first time last Friday.
Texas began delivering the doses to counties in mid-December. It is unclear why Hays County had not received any vaccines prior to last week.
On Friday, the county received 1,950 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra said in a news conference Friday. The doses weren t available until Monday because they were frozen and needed to be processed by medical personnel before the vaccinations began.
