Health departments may have to reschedule COVID-19 appointments

GAINESVILLE, GA – District 2 Public Health announces there may be some appointment changes necessary due to late shipments of Covid-19 vaccine. The winter weather across much of the nation has interrupted the shipment of Covid-19 vaccines to Georgia.  Please note that if you have a scheduled appointment, you will still receive your vaccination.

                The vaccine delay may affect some residents who have scheduled either first, or second-dose appointments. Public health may need to reschedule some appointments until more vaccine arrives. If your appointment is rescheduled, public health will contact you and give you a new time to come for your Covid-19 vaccination.

If you are not contacted, then your appointment will be at the scheduled time.

As soon as scheduled first-and-second-dose appointments are satisfied, and more vaccine is on-hand, public health will begin making new appointments.
