Dresden, Tenn.–Local health departments are receiving the COVID-19 vaccine in limited supply. Weakley County is officially in Phase 1A1 and 1A2 currently, and availability for scheduling the vaccine is exclusive to the populations in Phase 1A1 and 1A2.

The Health Department is experiencing an astounding volume of calls. Officials said, “Your patience is very much appreciated. If you cannot get through to the Health Department by telephone, please hang up and try again in a few minutes: (731) 364-2258.”
The Weakley County Health Department staff has been working courageously and tirelessly since the beginning of the pandemic to help us all during these unsettling times.
