Milam County Judge Steve Young said in his daily email. "We have a long way to go before this virus is under control. Please get vaccinated. It is safe, effective and the shot is virtually painless. It is the best way to stay safe, to keep each other safe, to keep the kids in school and keep the economy going. Do your part, get a shot."
