If you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, Rutherford County government has created a new service to help.
A limited-operations COVID-19 Vaccine Call Center has been established to assist county residents with signing up for the state’s priority waiting list, following up with persons on the waiting list for first dose administration, and scheduling second dose appointments.
“We know there are segments of the public who are unable to access this information online, so we partnered with Office of Information Technology Director Cody York and his team to better serve our citizens that fall into that category,” said Interim Health Department Director LaShan Dixon.
Adults tested with the new self-tests will register and receive their results online.
Children, as well as adults unable to register online, can still receive the standard nasal swab COVID-19 tests from 8:30-10:30 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Test results may be available within 72 hours of arrival at the lab, depending on the volume of tests the testing lab receives.
An information sheet detailing what participants can expect after testing will be provided on site, or you can visit tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/documents/cedep/novel-coronavirus/TestedGuidance.pdf.
Those unable to visit the RCHD site at State Farm can be tested byother health care providers.
