Updates: 

9:05 p.m. - Officials said the winter weather storm will mean vaccine shipments that would normally arrive in Texas on Sunday will be delayed by a couple days, but the state will still receive its full week 10 allocation.

8:34 a.m. - Austin Public Health is closing all three COVID-19 vaccine clinics scheduled for Saturday and canceling all vaccine appointments scheduled for Saturday. This is due to the inclement weather. There were about 2,300 appointments scheduled for Saturday, and they were all scheduled to receive the second dose.

"As a reminder, people can receive their second shot between 28 and 42 days after their first shot," APH said.

APH said a representative will reach out to reschedule appointments for next week.
