Governor Brian Kemp announced February 25 that COVID-19 vaccination eligibility will expand March 8 to include educators and staff (Pre-K, K-12, DECAL licensed or exempt childcare programs), adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers, and parents of children with complex medical conditions. South Health District will begin scheduling appointments for those within the expansion on Friday, March 5. 

Prior to scheduling for the expansion, the Georgia Department of Public Health’s South Health District wants to take the opportunity to encourage anyone in Tier 1A+ who has not yet scheduled their vaccination to do so as soon as possible.
