Patch Survey: What Do You Think About Vaccine Rollout In GA?
More than 1 million doses of coronavirus vaccine have been administered in Georgia. Have you gotten a shot? If so, tell us about it.
GEORGIA — Vaccination efforts are full-steam ahead throughout Georgia, with more than 1 million shots administered, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health.
As of Feb. 8, Georgia had administered 1,199,430 vaccines across the Peach State.
However, last week Gov. Brian Kemp said there are still roughly two million Georgians currently eligible that have yet to be vaccinated.

Even with the Biden administration's plan to release more vaccine supplies directly to pharmacies — which will increase Georgia's weekly vaccine allotment from 120,000 to 154,000, according to Kemp — the supply will still not meet the demand for vaccines in Georgia.
Georgians age 65 and older, health care workers and public safety officers, as well as long-term care facility residents and staff, fall into the state's current phase of the vaccine rollout, which is Phase 1A+.
