As part of Governor Abbott’s “Save our Seniors” Initiative, the Caldwell County Office of Emergency Management added a tab in the county’s vaccine pre-registration page reserved for people who are homebound. That means, people who are unable to transport themselves to a vaccine appointment due to limited mobility that requires the use of a walker or wheelchair, they are bedridden, they do not have family in town, or have a specific ailment.

So far, a little over 70 county residents have been vaccinated at home. If you meet the criteria, sign up here to make an appointment or call: (512)359-4637. Only the individuals themselves, or a family member, may sign up for this service. Upon registration, expect a phone call and/or e-mail from the county to verify eligibility.

Due to limited doses and personnel available for this program, the county’s emergency management team will make the final determination on who is eligible and when appointments will be scheduled.
