Vaccine Shortage In Georgia Prompts 'Pause' In Appointments
Primary Content
The Georgia governor's office says public health departments and other providers are being forced to “pause" appointments for people hoping to get vaccinated against the coronavirus in the Cobb-Douglas counties district.
A spokesman for Gov. Brian Kemp says the problem is a lack of adequate vaccines shipped to the state. Spokesman Cody Hall says Georgia's weekly allotment of vaccines is about 146,000, and they don't expect that number to increase in the short term. More than 750,000 people in Georgia have received at least one dose of vaccine. That's just over 7% of the population.
About 120,000 people have received two doses to become fully vaccinated.
