COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine gained approval from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) days ago.
The West Central Georgia Health Department will be receiving roughly 3,200 doses of the vaccine with plans of administering it as soon as Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m, according to Pamela Kirkland Columbus Health Department.
“We will have one location here in Columbus and another location in Americus, Sumter County,” Kirkland said. “So, we are going to try to cover both ends of our district and make sure our healthcare workers are vaccinated.”
