Vanderburgh County Health Department To Partner With  Greater St. James Missionary Baptist Church

March 16, 2021

The Vanderburgh County Health Department (VCHD) in partnership with the Greater St. James Missionary Baptist Church will hold a COVID-19 vaccination clinic on April 7^th at their Community Recreation and Education Center (C-REC). 

The VCHD will administer up to 350 doses of the Moderna vaccine to not only members of the St. James congregation, but other local churches.  Reverend Richard Pollard and the church leadership are working to sign up members of their congregation and will be reaching out to other local African American churches in an effort to vaccinate anyone who is willing to receive the vaccine.  Anyone who receives the first dose of the vaccine on April 7^th will receive the second dose on May 5^th when the Health Department returns to St. James.  

Rev. Pollard and the members of the St. James leadership team have been working with the VCHD for the last few weeks in an effort to increase the opportunity for people of color to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.  The VCHD is excited to be a resource to our African American community, and look to their leaders to help protect our community through these efforts.
