With Louisiana receiving a higher number of vaccine doses from the federal government and the governor’s recent eligibility expansion, the Greater New Orleans area will host several vaccination events this coming weekend.
In Orleans Parish, many schools are holding their own site specific events, but a number of upcoming events are open to all teachers and in some cases individuals in other eligibility groups.
