MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Christ Community Health Services is planning a COVID-19 vaccine clinic this Saturday.
According to a news release, the drive-thru clinic will be on March 13 starting at 8:00 am and ending at 3:00 pm at 3362 S. Third Street.
Vaccines will be given by appointment only. Christ Community said they will follow designated health directives for individuals 65 years and older and those who meet phase 1c criteria.
Plans for a $10 million facelift for the historic Melrose High School in Orange Mound are still in their infancy, but city officials and architects gave more details about the proposed redevelopment of the long-vacant building in a Zoom meeting Thursday.
Over the course of the next two years, the building will be converted into a library and genealogy center with apartments for seniors on the upper floors.
Paul Young, director of the city’s division of housing and community development, said the redevelopment would breathe life back into one of the central institutions in one of Memphis’ most storied districts.
