The next new amenity to land: COVID-19 vaccinations at airports.
Right now, there are a handful of airports around the country where the public (in some cases only airline employees) can line up to get their vaccinations.
Here is what we have found so far:
Delta Air Lines
In Atlanta, Delta Air Lines is hosting Georgia’s largest COVID-19 vaccination site. As of 22 February, anyone who falls within the current state guidelines can use the mass vaccination drive-through lane on the Delta campus or arrange for an appointment to get vaccinated inside the Delta Flight Museum.
“We’re proud to partner with Governor Kemp and his team to accelerate vaccinations and save the lives of countless Georgians,” said Delta CEO Ed Bastian in a statement. “We hope this model can serve as a blueprint that can be replicated in other states.”

Scheduled to start from February 22, eligible recipients under the state’s vaccination guidelines will be able to go to the facility and get the vaccine either inside the museum or via a drive-through lane. Delta CEO Ed Bastian said that the current model can serve as a blueprint for other states to replicate.
Residents of Georgia and working people of the state including healthcare workers, caregivers, staff of long-term care facilities, law enforcement personnel, firefighters, first responders and those above the age of 65 are allowed to register for the vaccine. With the expansion of eligibility rules, more people will be able to head to the Delta Flight Museum for their inoculation.
