COVID-19 Vaccines

Health departments in Georgia have limited supply of updated COVID vaccine. The majority of health departments do not have vaccines for all age groups or from both manufacturers (Moderna and Pfizer). DPH has placed orders for vaccine, and health departments are getting shipments, but due to limited supply they may run out of a vaccine formulation before they place another order or receive a new shipment. Neither DPH nor the health departments can control shipping of vaccine from the manufacturers. If an individual is seeking a COVID vaccination at a health department, they should call that health department first to confirm what is available. In most cases they will be asked to schedule an appointment for vaccination.

"Receiving the COVID-19 vaccine allowed me to affect change and turn faith into action. I believe the vaccine helps save lives, stabilize our economy, and ensure a safer future for generations to come. I encourage all to take action and be vaccinated."

"I received the shot for the health and safety of others, including my parents who are over 65. I caught COVID-19 8 days after I got married in June. This was probably the hardest thing because I couldn’t be around my husband or kids who all tested negative. God really tested my vows real soon. Being enclosed in a room for 14 days with body aches, loss of taste and smell was no joke. The shot was something to truly be thankful for, especially because it can protect me and others around me."

"I am proud to be part of the solution to our COVID-19 problem by being vaccinated. There are many people who cannot get vaccinated, or who do not have a strong immune response to the vaccine, and I wanted to help keep those people in my community safe even though I don’t know them. I also have an immunocompromised parent and so for my family it was very important to use all safety measures available."

The U.S. vaccine safety system ensures that all vaccines are as safe as possible. Learn more about
