STHS says so much progress is being made in the fight against COVID-19.
As of yesterday their health system had 153 adults inpatient at the hospital, 3 of whom were in COVID care.
The federal government’s COVID response team released data last week showing six states above 70% first-doses to adults with a combined total of 18 deaths in their 7-day average. On the heels of data-proven progress such as this and the roll-out of vaccines for children as young as 12, the CDC announced last week that vaccinated Americans can safely interact with others without masks, based on data revealing the vaccines are exceedingly effective at preventing both sickness and spread. Vaccines continue to be vital to success. St. Tammany Health System schedulers can help patients and families secure the appropriate vaccine appointment for anyone 12 and over. Operators answer 985-898-4001 nonstop, and MyChart is always available online or on the app.
For ease and convenience they are also hosting pop-up vaccination clinics May 21 in Mandeville and May 27 in Folsom.
