According to the Georgia Department of Public Health vaccination website, the number of Bulloch County residents who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine increased by nearly 3,000 people and jumped from 17% of the population to 21% all since Monday.
However, there wasn’t a massive rush in the past two days on vaccine providers in Bulloch. The large increase in Bulloch and all Georgia counties is actually due to the “Georgia DPH implementing process improvements on the interactive vaccine dashboard,” to more accurately reflect the real number of local vaccinations already administered, said Katie Hadden, public information officer for the Southeast Health District.

Jan. 1 marked the launch of a federal rule on medical prices that the hospital industry fought hard to stop.
For the first time, each hospital was required to publish a website file showing the payment rates it had negotiated with insurers, and another post that would let consumers search for hundreds of “shoppable’’ medical services. The Trump administration rule drew a lawsuit from the American Hospital Association, a suit that was rejected by a federal appeals court.
