Lackey Memorial Hospital staffers, with the help of East Central Community College nursing students have been busy administering COVID-19 vaccines to hundreds of people over the age of 65, those age 16-64 with chronic underlying medical conditions, and qualified healthcare workers, at the new Drive-Thru Vaccine facility on Airport Road, just off Highway 35 South in Forest.
After some confusion last week on the state level as to the number of vaccines for COVID-19 available in Mississippi, local healthcare officials said Tuesday that they are still taking appointments and still administering shots.
