STAY PROTECTED: The Latest COVID-19 Vaccination Information & Resources in Tennessee

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken the world by storm with its unprecedented impact. Tennessee, like many states in the US, rolled out COVID-19 vaccination programs that offer a path to a post-pandemic future. According to the latest data from the Tennessee Department of Health, over 1.4 million people have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.  

However, many Tennesseans still have concerns about vaccine safety, and others remain unsure about where and how to access testing and treatment. There is also a growing concern that not everyone has equal access to the vaccine. Vaccine equity is not just about ensuring that everyone has access to the vaccine but also addressing the underlying factors that contribute to disparities in healthcare. These factors include lack of transportation, inadequate healthcare facilities, and language barriers.

There is still much work to be done in ensuring that all Tennesseans have equitable access to the vaccine.

This includes addressing the entrenched systemic issues that have contributed to longstanding health inequities in the state. As we continue to navigate through the pandemic, TJC remains committed to our mission, to advocate for improved health equity and access for all Tennesseans. By working together and ensuring that everyone has equitable access to the COVID-19 vaccine, we can emerge from this pandemic stronger and more united than ever before. 

According to the new FDA guidance, people who have had only one monovalent vaccine who have not received a dose of the bivalent may receive a single dose of the bivalent vaccine.
