COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters
COVID-19 booster shots of the Moderna and Janssen (Johnson & Johnson COVID-19) vaccines are available in Louisiana in accordance with new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The approval expands the availability of booster shots in Louisiana, as the FDA and CDC approved booster shots of the Pfizer COVID-10 vaccine earlier this year.
Monoclonal Antibody Treatments
Did you test positive for COVID-19? If you are at risk or are currently experiencing severe symptoms following your diagnosis, you can be treated at no cost.
Monoclonal Antibody Treatments (mAb) for COVID-19 can prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death among high-risk individuals. This treatment is now widely available in Louisiana.
Individuals 12 years and older who are high-risk, that have tested positive for COVID-19, are eligible for this treatment at no cost.
Shot For 100
The Shot For 100 vaccine incentive program is expanding beyond college students to include anyone in Louisiana who gets their COVID vaccine. Patients must receive the vaccine at participating community-based sites as listed on ShotFor100.com. Anyone receiving their first shot is eligible and may only participate once.
COVID-19 Testing
LDH now recommends everyone, regardless of vaccination status, get tested if they believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19. COVID-19 testing sites can be found in towns, cities and communities throughout Louisiana. You can get tested at doctor’s offices, clinics, pharmacies, parish health units and many other locations.
