CDC releases updated guidance on masks for fully vaccinated
Fully vaccinated people can now do outdoor activities, attend a small outdoor gathering, or go to an outdoor restaurant without wearing a mask.
"The Hays County Office of Emergency Management was able to coordinate additional no-appointment COVID-19 vaccine clinics," said Becerra. "Later hours may offer more flexibility for those in our community who might have challenges in getting to a clinic by 8 p.m."
Becerra added that the selected locations are familiar to many residents already and may offer some level of comfort and trust in getting the vaccine.
Anyone who wants a Moderna 1st dose vaccine can simply show up at one of the above locations from 5-10 p.m. Those individuals must be able to return in four weeks for the 2nd dose.

Dr. Kumar says he's recently received numerous comments on social media about the vaccine. He debunks some of the myths he's seen surrounding the vaccine.
The Moderna clinics are separate from the Hays County Local Health Department clinics and they are not using doses allocated to the health department by the Texas Department of State Health Services.
As a reminder, 1st dose Pfizer clinics are being held at Live Oak Community Clinic in San Marcos on May 3 and 4, and no appointment is needed there either.
