How to get the coronavirus vaccine in Georgia
...........
“We’ll let them know that unless they either work in Georgia or have a part-time home in Georgia, they’re not allowed to get our Georgia vaccine,” Brown said.
Brown says that’s a directive given by the Georgia Department of Health. The vaccine allotment given to the state by the government is based on Georgia’s population, so Georgians must be prioritized first.
“We hope people respect that and try not to get around it.”
When those eligible for the vaccine call the health department to make an appointment, they are required to prove their residency or work in the state with a driver’s license or work badge ID.
“They’re reading the information to us, but when they come in for their appointment, we may ask to see it,” Brown said.
If they don’t have any type of identification, the health department will ask a series of questions to determine eligibility. Brown says the county health department has turned away many people from out of state.
