Baton Rouge continues to monitor the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine
and provide it to eligible groups as it’s available. COVID 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.
5,161 Vaccinations Administered at Baton Rouge General
Baton Rouge General is now providing the COVID-19 vaccine to patients who
meet the criteria below:

People being treated for end stage renal disease (patients on dialysis)
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.
