Pastor Kardell Ferguson rolled up his sleeve to not only get his first COVID-19 vaccination, but also to help others in the community realize the importance of receiving it.
Ferguson, pastor of Lovely Hill and Zion Oak Grove Baptist churches in Ridgeland, and his wife Lorine received their first shots Friday morning at the Jasper County Health Department as part of an initiative to promote local vaccinations.
