The Johnson and Johnson vaccine clinic scheduled for Saturday at the Fayette County Fairgrounds has been put on hold, according to county officials.
“The State notified me this morning that, out of an abundance of caution, all Johnson and Johnson shot clinics have been placed on hold. This is due to a recommendation from the federal authorities to pause providing the vaccines in response to reported cases of blood clots,” said Fayette County Chief of Emergency Management Craig Moreau.

Vaccine Updates
Fayette County Office of Emergency Management in conjunction with Round Top-Warrenton Fire Department, Texas Department of Emergency Management and Texas Military Division will be holding Covid vaccination shot clinics at the Antique Fair in Warrenton Tuesday through Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. The clinic will continue as long as there are doses available.
Texas teachers are now eligible for the Covid vaccine according to state health officials and Fayette County already has a plan in place to get shots in arms.
“We’ve been working on this for quite some time – we’ve been working with the school districts to identify their teachers who fall in the 1A and 1B categories and have requested vaccines specifically for those teachers. We were notified today that we have enough doses coming to cover all the teachers who want the shot who fall within those categories,” said Craig Moreau, Fayette County chief of emergency management.
