Vaccination for the

Vaccine
Boosters
A booster dose is an additional dose of a vaccine that gives our immune system a “boost” of protection against an organism that causes infection so that we can keep the best level of immunity possible.
Real people with life-changing results
Christopher M. Todd
Pastor
“This pandemic has disproportionately affected minority communities, particularly with long-term illness and death from complications of the COVID-19 virus. Getting vaccinated is critically important simply because it saves lives, protecting families and individuals, many who could be seriously impacted by the effects of COVID-19 without it.”
Meghan Bonds
Physician
“I chose to get vaccinated because, through all the noise of the media and the politics, the science was clear: the vaccines work. I had faith that the force behind developing the vaccines was the desire to keep people healthy, and it is the same desire that drives me to care for my patients every day at Hale County Hospital and Clinic.”
