With 2,000 doses available, some Madison County residents were in line at midnight for a COVID-19 vaccination at the Jackson Fairgrounds, Thursday.

Citizens age 75 and older qualified for the vaccination.

“We’re having our first mass vaccination clinic,” Kim Tedford said, “You have to be a Madison County resident. (I’m) not picking on our counties around us, but our vaccine is allocated – based on population – so it’s important that we take care of folks in Madison County, first.”

Kim Tedford is the regional director of the Jackson Madison County Health Department.
