ATLANTA — Many Georgians are struggling to navigate vaccine availability after the state expanded eligibility this week to adults 65 and over and first responders/law enforcement.
One thing to remember is that there simply isn't much vaccine available. What the country gets it is dividing up among states, and what states get they are dividing up among counties, private hospitals and pharmacies.
Georgia has been allocated a little fewer than 1 million doses so far, and there are more than 10 million people living here. That means many folks will have to be patient.
But there are doses out there to be administered, and it's best for everyone that they be administered to somebody sooner rather than later. Right now, public health departments are overwhelmed and private hospitals and health facilities are mostly still prioritizing vaccinating employees over patients.
That doesn't leave a lot of options, but you can try some pharmacies that have been designated as vaccination sites by the state. Keep in mind, however, it's highly unlikely any given private pharmacy has been allocated much of the vaccine.
