Vaccination of health care workers is already underway in those counties and will continue as the program expands.
There is no cost for COVID-19 vaccination through public health.
Camden, Glynn
All health departments in the eight-county Coastal Health District will begin scheduling vaccination appointments by phone on Thursday, Jan. 7.
“We are very excited to start this next phase, and we expect a lot of phone calls,” said Dr. Lawton Davis, Health Director of the Coastal Health District. “Supply is not going to meet demand right away, so we’re asking our communities for patience during this rollout.”
Hundreds of other health care providers across the state are also enrolling as vaccine providers.
“This is a monumental effort, and one that can’t be accomplished through public health alone,” said Davis. “If you are in this expanded phase 1a group, you may also want to check with your pharmacy or doctor’s office to see if they’re offering vaccine as well.”
