The Lauderdale County Health Department in Florence announces that it is out of first dose COVID-19 vaccines until further notice. Only second doses are being given at this time.
Northern Public Health District Medical Officer Dr. Karen Landers said, “The Lauderdale County Health Department has been providing COVID-19 vaccine to meet the needs of the community during this pandemic. At this time there are more people who want to be vaccinated than there are doses available, so the allocation of first doses has been exhausted. Remaining vaccine is being given to those people requiring second doses.”
