All GEMA/HS Mass Vaccination Sites switch to Johnson and Johnson vaccine

Beginning today all eight Mass Vaccination Sites operated by the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency will allow drive-ups with no appointments necessary for the COVID-19 Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

The sites will administer the single-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine as available to those who haven’t received the first dose of a different vaccine until operations cease on May 21.

Pfizer second doses will be available at the Sites by appointment.

Appointments to receive the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine can be scheduled at MyVaccineGeorgia.com.

This past Friday, April 30, was the last day to receive the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine at the Sites.

Those who want to receive a vaccine other than the Johnson and Johnson vaccine can find information regarding vaccine availability near them by visiting dph.georgia.gov or at vaccinefinder.org.

The nearest Mass Vaccine Site in our area is the Habersham County Fairgrounds, located at 4235 Toccoa Hwy, in Clarkesville.

Site hours for the Habersham County Fairgrounds are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
