Where Can I Get Vaccine This Week?

If you are looking for a Covid-19 vaccine this week, you will have several opportunities. The health unit in your home parish has the shots available and several local drug stores also have the shots available. There are also community-wide events planned.

In DeSoto Parish, there is a drive-thru vaccine operation at the old Walmart in Mansfield on Monday from 10am until 2pm. You can click here to register in advance, but it is not necessary.

Fairgrounds

The vaccine operation at the State Fairgrounds in Shreveport will be back open on Wednesday through Friday from 10 am - 4 pm each day.

Linwood Avenue Site

The other community operation is also open Wednesday-Friday at the old Chevyland on Linwood. It will be open from noon until 5 pm each day.

Vaccines will be administered to folks who meet current eligibility criteria. But that includes almost everyone. If you are going to a drug store to get the vaccine, you do need to call ahead and make an appointment.

In Louisiana, more than 1.3 million people have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine. Nearly 900,000 people are now fully vaccinated in the state.

In Region 7 across northwest Louisiana, the latest numbers show more than 130,000 people have gotten at least one shot.
