Lisa Gonzalez, DeKalb County Public Health Administrator, says it’s been confusing for many over 65 years olds just to register so the health department can notify them of their vaccine appointment. That’s because each county’s process is different. And it’s hard to make sure they know who to contact.
“Based on census data, we think that 65 and older [population] is around 13,500 in DeKalb County. And just within that group, we have about 12,000 registered. So that s pretty good, I think,” said Gonzalez.
But being registered doesn’t mean they’ll be vaccinated soon.
