Phone stays busy at local health department
Updated 1/11/21
The Tennessee Department of Health has mandated that effective immediately, all county health departments transition to an appointment-based system for distribution of the covid-19 vaccine.
Phone lines at the Giles County Health Department were reported busy today (Monday) for a person to ask if there was a COVID-19 vaccine in Giles County.
It was later reported by the Tennessee Health Department on social media that Giles County Health Department would open at 10 a.m. due to bad weather in the area.
A spokesman at the local health department said Monday morning that they have not been told if the COVID-19 vaccine would arrive today or this week and appointments are made only if they have the vaccine.
