Canaan Baptist Church. Participants will be expected to arrive at the same time as their previous appointment slot. 

“After almost a year of providing free COVID-19 testing, we are excited to once again be teaming up with our community partners to help distribute vaccines to our community,” says Cempa Community Care CEO Shannon Stephenson. 

To slow the spread of COVID-19, the CDC continues to recommend the wearing of masks, social distancing, avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces, along with handwashing.
