If you’re not feeling well, you can now get tested for both the flu and COVID-19 at all county Health Departments.
Patients who test positive for the Flu can also receive treatment with Tamiflu. We are entering what are historically the most high-risk months for respiratory viruses.
Here is an overview of Test and Treat for those 13 years old and up:
  • You can make an appointment by calling the MSDH scheduling line at (855) 767-0170.
  • Walk-ins are also welcome.
  • If you test positive within 48 hours of the onset of Flu symptoms, you can receive Tamiflu when clinically eligible.
Vaccinations for Flu and COVID are available for ages 6 months to adults. RSV immunizations are available for infants.
The Lafayette County Health Department is located in the Lafayette County Business Complex at 72 F.D. “Buddy” East Parkway.
You can make an appointment using the new MSDH mobile app. It is available for free download in Apple and Android stores under MSDH Healthy App.
