Madison County reported 59 new COVID-19 cases and three new COVID-19 deaths over the past week as COVID-19 numbers are holding steady even as more vaccine doses are administered in the county.

As of Wednesday, Madison County had administered 78,720 doses of COVID-19 vaccines, up 3,241 doses since last week’s report of 75,479 does, according to the Mississippi Department of Health’s Wednesday COVID-19 report.

Madison County has recorded 9,981 total COVID-19 cases and 213 deaths since the pandemic began in March 2020.

The MSDH vaccination report does not distinguish the county of residence of the people receiving the vaccines so all of those vaccines may not have been administered to people who are residents of Madison County.

Vaccines are currently available for all Mississippians ages 16 and older and are available at the Walmart locations in Canton and Madison. Go to https://msdh.ms.gov/c19appointment#local to check availability.

Vaccinations also are currently being administered by appointment in Madison County at Canton High School, 634 Finney Road in Canton on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Sign up online at covidvaccine.umc.edu or call 1-877-978-6453. The website is the best option, officials have said.

Madison County schools combined reported 43 students quarantined for the week of April 5-9, the latest date for which figures are available, according to the MSDH. 

Mississippi’s total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases now stands at 189,581 with another 120,237 probable cases for a total of 309,818 COVID-19 cases and 4,945 confirmed deaths and 2,218 probable for a total of 7,163 COVID-19 deaths since the pandemic began in March 2020.
