Free COVID-19 Testing July 17-18

Jefferson County Health Department staff will be at the Ranson Civic Center parking lot on Friday and Saturday, July 17th and 18th from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM to offer free testing for COVID-19.
 
We will accept drive-through or walk-through patients. Please bring your drivers license, photo ID, or other proof of address. Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
 
Samples will be taken from the nose via a mid-turbinate or anterior nares swab, which is quicker and more comfortable for the patient than the longer nasopharyngeal swabs. Specimens will be shipped to Q-Labs for processing, and test results are usually available in 3-4 days via their online patient portal. Patients who do not have internet access or who do not want to use the patient portal can choose to get a phone call instead.
 
These are diagnostic tests and will only show if you have an active infection, not if you have previously been infected and recovered.

Back-to-School Immunizations 2020

The Jefferson County Health Department will be providing back-to-school required and recommended immunizations on Monday, August 3, 2020 through Friday, August 7, 2020 by appointment only.  The State of West Virginia requires all students entering Kindergarten, 7th and 12th grades be up to date on required vaccinations for entry into public schools.

If you wish to have your child vaccinated, please call us for an appointment as soon as possible. You will then need to complete the appropriate form located below and return it along with a copy of your child’s most recent and complete immunization records by Tuesday, July 21, 2020.  Your paperwork can be submitted via mail, email or fax.

If the forms are not received by the due date, the Health Department will not be able to vaccinate your child.
