The Jefferson County Department of Health (JCDH) is
hosting a county-wide TikTok Competition to encourage all residents to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The Tiktok competition comes in part of JCDH kicking off its new campaign called “Let’s Kick COVID Together.” As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the state, JCDH wants to make a creative effort to get everyone excited about getting the vaccine. Any resident of Jefferson County can participate. The competition kicks off on October4,2021, and will

“This competition will allow residents to change the narrative of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Social media has a great way to influence and engage with communities. It is important for us at JCDH to bring awareness to the importance of receiving the vaccine. As COVID-19 cases rise, we are doing our part to get as many people vaccinated as possible to have a safer Jefferson County. ”Dr. Mark E. Wilson, Health Officer
