www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com It’s becoming clearer who might receive the first coronavirus vaccines in Georgia, but county health departments are still working out the logistics of when the vaccines will arrive and how many can get it.
Georgia is expected to receive about 400,000 doses once emergency use authorizations are granted to vaccines developed by pharmaceutical companies Moderna and Pfizer, said Dr. Audrey Arona, health director for the Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale County Health Departments. Arona met virtually with Gwinnett legislators Tuesday night to update them about the pandemic.
Health care workers, long-term care facility residents and at-risk seniors are expected to be the first in Georgia to receive vaccines, Arona said. The state will determine how the vaccines are distributed to local health departments, and those departments will carry out the bulk of the initial vaccination effort, she said.
