JACKSON, Tenn. — The Jackson-Madison County Regional Health Department says over 1,550 residents were vaccinated Thursday.

The news release from the health department says 1,563 Madison County seniors received their dose of the vaccine at the Jackson Fairgrounds.

“We could not have done this without support from our community partners,” said health department Regional Director Kim Tedford.
