The Louisiana Department of Health has launched its new COVID-19 Community Support Hotline, which merges the former contact tracing hotline and the COVID-19 vaccine hotline to provide the general public one convenient resource to get their COVID-19 and vaccine questions answered.
Residents can call the new COVID-19 Community Support Hotline at 1-855-453-0774 to:
-Schedule vaccine and booster appointments
-Schedule a homebound vaccination appointment
-Speak to a medical professional
-Get their questions answered on what to do next after becoming COVID positive or exposed
-Get connected to resources while in isolation or quarantine (assuming eligibility and availability)
If you test positive for COVID-19, you may receive a text message with general information on isolation and quarantine guidance. If you test positive or suspect you have been exposed to COVID-19 and have questions, you may call the COVID-19 Community Support Hotline at (855) 453-0774.
All calls are confidential and phone menu options are listed in both English and Spanish. The hotline is available Monday-Saturday from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. and on Sunday from 12 n.n-8 p.m.
