Teachers are next in line for vaccine. Preschool and K-12 school employees, adults with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers and parents of children with complex medical conditions will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in Georgia starting March 8th, Governor Kemp announced on Thursday. On Thursday Governor Brian P. Kemp joined Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey and Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency Director Chris Stallings at the State Capitol to provide an update on COVID-19 vaccine distribution and expanded criteria to receive the vaccine.
Governor Brian Kemp made the announcement Thursday, saying newly eligible people can start signing up Friday at “MyVaccineGeorgia.com”
An online tool with scheduling criteria for vaccine appointments at public health sites should be fully operational some time in March, Georgia Department of Public Health commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey said in the press conference Thursday.
People with severe underlying medical conditions could become eligible by the end of March, if all goes well with the latest vaccine expansion. The criteria for this particular group of Georgians might be finalized in the coming days.
