Good evening. Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser, members of the legislature, distinguished guests, and my fellow Louisianans:
I am honored to be speaking to you from the campus of Southern University. Thank you, President Ray Belton for your hospitality and to your entire team for helping us put this event together following current COVID-19 mitigation measures. I also want to thank you for sharing your campus with the public as a hub for drive through testing and vaccinations. Your efforts have been nothing short of tremendous. In fact, this weekend, the Southern System administered over 1,000 shots.
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.
