Stay safe. Stay informed.
As of August 10, 2023 the Infection Control/Employee Health staff will no longer be offering Covid-19 vaccines to the public.
The Mississippi Department of Health has ended the program to give the vaccines to the community for free. Covid-19 vaccines are still offered at many pharmacies and doctor's offices so that the community can continue to stay up-to-date on vaccines. We have thoroughly enjoyed providing the vaccine to help protect our community from an epidemic.
