Baton Rouge continues to monitor the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine
and provide it to eligible groups as it’s available. COVID-19 is
now the leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 7,000
Louisianans dying from the virus in 2020 – more than the number
of people who died in accidents, or from stroke and diabetes combined.
The vaccine is a critical tool in ending the pandemic and we encourage
everyone to get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible.
Beginning Monday, March 29, anyone 16 and older is eligible to receive
a COVID-19 vaccine in Louisiana. Schedule yours online today!
Although vaccine supply is currently limited, more doses will become available
over the next weeks and months. To see a list of pharmacies currently
providing the vaccine, please visit
ldh.la.gov/covidvaccine. Because supply is limited and demand is high, please check back often,
as appointments and additional facilities will continue to add additional
appointment slots. Patients who arrive without an appointment will not
be vaccinated.
