The Georgia Department of Public Health is currently administering COVID-19 vaccine in Phase 1a+ which includes:
- Healthcare workers (physicians, nurses, laboratory technicians, EMS personnel, environmental services, etc.)
- Residents and staff of long-term care facilities
- As of January 11: Law enforcement, firefighters, first responders (including volunteer departments)
- As of January 11: Adults aged 65 and older (and their caregivers as applicable)
Vaccine supply is very limited. Depending on vaccine supply allocations from the federal government, it may be weeks before additional providers will have vaccine available for quicker and more widespread distribution.
For information on additional priority levels, visit the Northeast Health District's COVID-19 Vaccine webpage or the Georgia Department of Public Health's COVID-19 Vaccine webpage.
In Athens-Clarke County, vaccines are being administered by both the GA Department of Public Health's Northeast Health District and private providers.
Public health departments are scheduling vaccines by appointment only.
