COVID Vaccine
COVID Vaccine Information
In December 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two COVID-19 Vaccines. These vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective in preventing COVID-19. Getting vaccinated is an important way you can protect yourself, your family and your community from COVID-19.
The Fulton County Board of Health is an enrolled COVID-19 vaccine provider and offers the vaccine at no cost.
Quantities of the vaccine are still limited. To make sure the vaccine is distributed fairly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Georgia Department of Public Health have established priority groups based on risk of exposure and the potential health impact of COVID-19. Only people in the approved priority group can receive the vaccine at this time.
At this time, only people in Group 1A are eligible to receive the COVID-19 Vaccine in Georgia. This includes:
- Paid or unpaid people serving in healthcare settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials, including but not limited to Staff in clinical settings (e.g. nurses, physicians, EMS, laboratory, environmental services, etc.)
- Long-term care facilities staff and residents
- Adults 65 + and their caregivers
- First Responders (fire, police, sheriff, 9-1-1 personnel, etc.)
