Jackson Madison County Regional Health Department continues to increase the COVID vaccination eligibility.
The hospital held their first vaccination clinic for the new age group Wednesday with the Pfizer vaccine.
Employee health manager for West Tennessee Healthcare, Allison Wright, said they are excited to start vaccinating children in the community.
“We are really excited to start to get our children and adolescents vaccinated because we have done over 20,000 vaccines here for our healthcare workers and our employees out in the community. We are excited to now lower that and get them vaccinated as well,” Wright said.
The clinic was open from 4:00 to 8:30 Wednesday evening with about 100 people already signed up to get the vaccine.
