St. Tammany Health System has expanded its COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to include several new groups.

Effective Monday (Feb. 22), and in keeping with Louisiana Department of Health recommendations, among those now eligible are all K-12 teachers, pregnant women, dialysis patients, and people between the ages of 55 and 64 with at least one of the conditions listed by the CDC as placing them at “increased risk” from COVID-19.

Find a full list of those now eligible at StTammany.health/vaccine.

Those who meet current rules can make an appointment to receive the vaccine at St. Tammany Health System via the free MyChart app or by calling 985-898-4001.

Please note that heavy call volumes may make the MyChart option more convenient. Learn more about MyChart, including how to get it, at StTammany.health/MyChart.

With the expansion of eligibility, nearly one-third of Louisiana residents is now eligible to receive the vaccine.
