Cobb County Government: Final Shot Given At Cobb's Mass Vaccination Site

Press release from the Cobb County Government:

June 18, 2021

And that's a wrap!

Hundreds gathered at the Jim R. Miller Park Event Center to celebrate the final vaccine shot given at the mass vaccination site there.

For nearly 16 months, Cobb & Douglas Public Health has used the Park's pavilion first as a mass testing site, then later transitioning it to the county's mass COVID vaccine site.

Tears were shed as health care workers mingled with other groups involved in this unprecedented effort that helped Cobb County stay above the state average for both testing and vaccinations.

The effort to vaccinate Cobb County residents and deal with the COVID-19 virus continues with various outreach events and a traveling vaccination effort by the nonprofit group CORE.

Before helping unveil a plaque that will be permanently placed at the center, Cobb Chairwoman Lisa Cupid thanked all of those at their event for their efforts and commended the spirit of cooperation between a host of governmental entities to help combat the unprecedented pandemic.
