First responders have been among the first groups to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
In December, members of the Abbeville Fire Department and other fire departments in Vermilion Parish received their first dose of the Moderna vaccine. The vaccine requires two doses.
Members of the state’s vaccine team returned this week to administer more doses. That took place at the Abbeville Fire Department’s Main Station.

Sheriff Mike Couvillon recently had the honor to recognize Deputy David Trahan for his years of service to the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Trahan said he always had a desire to work in law enforcement, and while working for South Central Bell he began that journey of a long successful career under Sheriff Ray Lemaire in 1989 as a reserve deputy.

In Superintendent Tommy Byler’s video update, he informed parents, students, and school employees that they would begin transitioning from a hybrid (A-B) schedule to full-time schedule.
For most of the school year, the high school and middle schools have been in a hybrid model, but by Feb. 5, the plan is to have the students attending full time.
