WCCHD Vaccinates 900 Front Line Workers During Five-Day Clinic

December 30, 2020 – All 900 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine received by the Williamson

County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) were administered to front line workers

during the five-day vaccination clinic that started on Dec. 26 at Hutto High School.

Eligible staff from local Fire and EMS departments, long-term care facilities that are not

enrolled in a federal pharmacy program, funeral homes, home healthcare agencies and

ISD school nurses participated to receive their first of two doses of the Moderna COVID19 vaccine.

”Only through great partnerships with our local first responder agencies and ISDs were

we able to conduct a very successful vaccination clinic to protect our community’s front

line workers,” said Derrick Neal, WCCHD Executive Director. “We are especially grateful

to Hutto ISD for being gracious hosts, and the gratitude shown by those who were

vaccinated.”

According to DSHS, Texas is still in the “limited supply” phase and some providers may

not have vaccines available yet. Vaccine supply is limited but providers will be receiving

more vaccines each week. For more information about COVID-19 vaccines and the state
