FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JEFFERSON PARISH GOVERNMENT PARTNERS WITH LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOR A
DRIVE-THRU TO ADMINISTER COVID VACCINE TO SENIORS, HEALTHCARE WORKERS & FIRST-RESPONDERS

JEFFERSON, LA – The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) in collaboration with Jefferson Parish will be administering the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday, Feb. 5, 2021 at the Terrytown Golden Age Center (620 Heritage Ave. Terrytown, LA 70056) by appointment only. The vaccine is only available to those meeting the current LDH phase criteria of Phase 1A or Phase 1B, Tier 1 (persons 70 years or older, healthcare workers and first-responders). This vaccine distribution will be a drive-thru and will take place rain or shine; there is no cost to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Those who fall in LDH’s current phase guidelines who have not yet received a vaccine should visit covidvaccinations.jeffparish.net to make an appointment. You must have a reservation to receive a vaccine and it will be honored only on the date and time reserved. Anyone registered who does not meet the current criteria will be turned away. Please note that if a reservation for the vaccine is made, you agree that you are available to return to the same location for the second vaccine 28 days after the first dose. The first dose is on February 5, 2021 and the second dose is on March 5, 2021 (between 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.).

As additional allotments of vaccine are provided by LDH to Jefferson Parish partners in the coming weeks, more appointments will be available in the online registration system.
