Vaccinations for group Phase 1A continues, along with coordination for group Phase 1B. A new portal with Austin Public Health opened for residents this week that allows you to pre-register for a COVID-19 vaccine if you have no other options. Once pre-registered, you will be contacted to schedule an appointment when eligible. Click here to connect to the pre-registration portal. It's still recommended to contact your healthcare provider first since doses are still limited. While there are reports of difficulty in receiving a vaccine, more availability is expected in the near future. It's important to keep in contact with your healthcare provider regarding next steps in the process. Click here to connect with more vaccination resources.
