As of January 11, 2021, Georgia has 1,481 providers enrolled in vaccine distribution and plans to add more as quickly as possible. Georgia has administered 183,870 vaccines to date and has an allocation of 353,925 Pfizer vaccines and 360,000 Moderna vaccines to date. Our state is working hard to provide access to vaccinations as well as information about the process. They urge patience as information changes quickly.
Georgia is currently working to vaccine those who fall into the 1A+ designation. This includes:
- healthcare workers
- long-term care staff and residents
- law enforcement personnel
- those age 65 and older, along with their care providers.
The next group for vaccination should be 1B which includes non-medical essential workers. But the Georgia Health Dept website states that the next group will be what is currently designated as 1C. This group includes everyone 16 and over with any medical conditions that might increase risk. This plan is subject to change. We will be monitoring this situation and providing updates with any changes.
The Georgia Department of Public Health is launching its own “Covid Vaccine Locator” that will allow you to find where vaccines are being administered in your area. Most Georgia counties are administering vaccines via the county health department by appointment only. Some counties have other agencies also offering vaccines. For up to date vaccine locations and instructions, go to: https://dph.georgia.gov/locations/covid-vaccination-site.
Please note: Many people are anxious to set up an appointment. Because of the limited availability, the local appointment websites are often crashing or are impossible to log into. Be patient and keep trying. Going directly to the vaccine locations will not help you set up an appointment. You must do so on-line, or follow the instructions posted on-line for each site.
Below is a list of current metro area agencies that are providing vaccines for the 1A+ designated population.

There has been some talk of vaccine side effects. These are mainly attributed to those with a history of allergic reactions. If you have concerns about possible side effects, make sure to discuss your concerns with your primary care physician. To help improve access to healthcare for those suffering from side effects, you can find safety monitoring through the smartphone app VSAFE which provides personalized health check-ins and reporting of any side effects.
We will continue providing information as it becomes available. Please check back for updates at compassrent.com. Stay healthy and safe.
