Free COVID-19 vaccine site coming to Waterview Casino Vicksburg

Published 9:41 am Tuesday, August 3, 2021

The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) will host a free pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Vicksburg next week.

The event will take place on Aug. 9 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Waterview Casino and Hotel, located at 3990 Washington St.

“As an incentive, those who get the vaccine will be entered into a drawing for $100 with 10 winners, and there will be a separate drawing for team members as well,” said Rose Wilson, who works with human resources at Waterview. “It’s not all about what the community can do for us; sometimes, it’s about what we can do for the community.”
