The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) administers COVID-19 vaccinations each Monday at drive-thru clinics held at the VFW Fairgrounds in Fort Payne, but the vaccines are available at a variety of locations across DeKalb County. Supplies vary and everyone should call ahead to schedule a day and time to receive their shots.
All individuals age 16 and older are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Alabama. The Pfizer vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine currently approved for age 16 and older. If you are 16 or 17 years of age, ADPH recommends checking which vaccine a provider is offering before scheduling an appointment.
