Increase in Positive Cases and Positivity Rate
Jefferson County continues to see an increase in positive cases and in our positivity rate. We will remain at an ORANGE advisory level this week when the Indiana Department of Health Dashboard updates at 5pm. The entire State of Indiana is continuing to see this trend as you can see comparing last week’s map to this week’s map. As colder weather approaches and we start seeking indoor activities and gatherings the Jefferson County Health Department highly recommends masking up while indoor public places or gathering with those outside your immediate household. COVID vaccines and COVID booster shots are available at the Jefferson County Health Department Monday thru Friday 9am-3pm for ages 5 and older. All three vaccines and boosters, Pfizer, Moderna and J & J are available including Pfizer pediatric doses. We accept walk ins or you can schedule an appointment by visiting www.ourshot.in.gov.
