With the Delta variant causing a wave of hospitalizations the Greater Meridian Clinic ishas out and about making sure everyone in the community has the opportunity to be vaccinated.

“I’m a part of the Greater Meridian Health Clinic and I serve on the Board of Directors and I am also a patient.”

Mayor Jimmie Smith gave us his opinion on the COVID vaccination and the importance of today’s event. “So I think everyone should come out and get their shot if they don’t have it, we provide the vaccine and that’s a part of the reason why we are out here to make sure that people get the shot.”

Mayor Smith tells us the impact the Greater Meridian Clinic has on what they are doing for the community.

“ I have seen them give shots this morning this is a plus for all of us in the community and Greater Meridian Clinic provides services that are second to none.”

“I think it’s very important that we move around in the community like we’ve been doing here today.”

Mayor Smith had this to say to those in the community who have yet to be vaccinated.

“I encourage everyone if they have not gotten the shot to get the shot we have great services at Greater Meridian Health Clinic. “ The quality of service is second to none.”
