SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) -
UPDATE - As of Jan. 14, LSU Health Shreveport has depleted its allocated number of vaccine doses. Officials say they’re hopeful they’ll get more in the near future. Those who had an appointment to get the vaccine Friday or next week will be notified via email of their rescheduled appointment.
The planned start of a massive Covid vaccine drive-through operation at the Louisiana State Fairgrounds is being postponed until Tuesday because of the winter weather.
People 70 and older will be able to get the COVID-19 vaccine much sooner than expected. The vaccine will be available Monday, Jan. 11, in northwest Louisiana.
