JACKSON, Tenn. After Thursday, the Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department will surpass 5,000 vaccines distributed. This is thanks to a clinic they held to make sure those who need the vaccine are getting it.
One by one, nurses at the Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department are immunizing the community, this time teaming up with Madison-Haywood Developmental Services.
“Our individuals, we had quite a few in the first go around, the people talked, they had no after effects, and encouraged their fellow employees to come and do this,” said Madison-Haywood Developmental Services CEO Bill Brewer.
The health department is giving out 1,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to people in the first two phases who hadn’t gotten it yet. Part of the supply came from the unused 500 doses from the drive-thru clinic last week.
