It's been almost one year since Central Georgia's first confirmed case of COVID-19.
Since then, close to 14,000 Georgians have died from the virus.
A year later, we're starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Over one million people in the Peach State and 50 million Americans have received at least one dose of the vaccine so far, each one with their own story and their own reasons for getting the vaccine.
Each dose is more than a number, including Elizabeth and Theron Simpson.
When their turn came, they were two of the first people in line.
"We're fortunate. We've already had both of our shots," says Theron.
