EMA: Rain Prompts Time Change For Northport Vaccine Registration

NORTHPORT, AL — Tuscaloosa County EMA officials have shortened today's pop-up vaccine registration event in Northport as storms bringing rain and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon.

Tuesday's pop-up registration at Northport Baptist opened at 8 a.m. and will last until noon. This also marked the second day officials were set up at Northport Baptist Church, providing free registration for those wishing to receive the coronavirus vaccine through DCH Health System.
