BASTROP COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — Pre-registration for the waitlist for COVID-19 vaccinations is now open for Bastrop County residents as well as those in nearby counties.
The county was designated as a vaccine hub by the Texas Department of State Health Services. As of Tuesday, it has received 1,000 doses of the vaccine to be distributed by Bastrop County Cares.
The survey will ask for things like your age, medical conditions, where you live and your contact information. You will then be placed on a waiting list, and someone will call you when it's time to set up an appointment.
Online registration is preferred, the county said, but if you don't have access to a cell phone or computer, you can call (866) 268-2289 and leave a message.
"It is our primary objective to get everyone in Bastrop County, and other rural Central Texas counties, registered for the vaccine as soon as possible and to get vaccines administered to all our citizens within 90 days," the county said in a press release Tuesday.
More than 6,000 people have already pre-registered through the website.
Bastrop County Local Health Authority Dr. Desmar Walkes has requested as many as 10,000 doses for larger clinics, the county said.
