Health departments move COVID-19 vaccinations to offsite clinics

Thirteen Northeast Georgia public health departments are moving their vaccination clinics to larger venues. The move will allow the departments to better accommodate demand and make the process more efficient, officials say.

“This move will allow our staff to provide both first and second doses at one location,” said District Health Director Dr. Zachary Taylor. “Having a larger space than the health departments will also give us flexibility to vaccinate more people each day, especially when vaccine becomes more readily available.”

Appointments will still be required to get vaccinated at the new clinic sites.

Essential services such as school immunizations, women’s health services, and communicable disease services will be available at the health departments.

The change affects all 13 public health departments in District 2 which includes Banks, Dawson, Forsyth, Franklin, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, and White counties.

Other public health departments in Northeast Georgia are overseen by the Northeast Health District. For information on those COVID clinic sites, click here.
