Southerland report
The 112th General Assembly has begun and State Senator Steve Southerland says Tennessee has vaccinated more than 221,000 people from COVID-19. The department reported they are distributing COVID-19 vaccinations as rapidly as supplies are received from the federal government. Tennessee is reported to be one of the most successful states in the U.S. at quickly administering the vaccine. Pharmacies, including Walgreens, CVS, and some independent pharmacies are partnering to vaccinate the residents and staff members of long-term care facilities. Assisted living facilities and homes for the aged also began vaccination efforts on January 13 through the federal partnership with Walgreens and CVS. The availability of vaccines varies by county but the health department has announced that shipments are sent weekly directly to county health departments from the federal government. The Tennessee COVID-19 Vaccination Plan is available on the department’s website: https://covid19.tn.gov/covid-19-vaccines/eligibility/. You can contact Senator Southerland at ; (800) 449-8366, extension: 13851 or by e-mail at: sen.steve.southerland@capitol.tn.gov.
