Given the low vaccination rates in Central Louisiana, the rising case rates and the recommendations for post-exposure testing, the Office of Public Health is providing COVID vaccination and testing at all Health Units in the area, announces Dr. David J. Holcombe, Region 6 Medical Director.

No pre-registration or out-of-pocket expenses for either vaccination or testing. All sites provide all three vaccines: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson (Janssen).

On-site PCR testing is available as well as BINAX testing,

LaSalle residents can get the free vaccine at the Health Unit, located at 1673 North Second Street in Jena, across from the LaSalle Parish Courthouse, every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.
