DeKalb COVID-19 Vaccine Site To Move To MARTA Station

DEKALB COUNTY, GA — One of the DeKalb County Board of Health's COVID-19 vaccination sites is moving to a Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority station.

The county's vaccination site at the BrandsMart store in Doraville will move to the Doraville MARTA station, located at 6000 New Peachtree Road, starting Friday morning, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Anyone with an appointment at the original location scheduled for Friday or future dates should now report to the MARTA station's parking deck to get the vaccine.

Short-term parking is free at the MARTA station. The vaccine site's move will make it more accessible to a wider range of residents as it will be directly on MARTA's Gold Line, per a news release.

A vaccine site is planned for the Indian Creek MARTA station in eastern DeKalb County in the future, the release said.

Residents can schedule vaccine appointments on the county board of health's website, but availability varies and changes each day. Publix, Kroger and CVS are also offering vaccine appointments on their respective websites.
