Vaccines are making a difference in reducing the spread and severity of the disease, even protecting against the extremely contagious Delta variant. In Alabama, there is recent news vaccine rates are rising but time is of the essence as rates of infection rise and the state still has a long way to go. Wallace State assisted in the vaccine effort by holding its first clinic in February. This one, officials hope, will bolster a successful start to fall semester and provide a much-needed service to the community.
