VALDOSTA, Ga. (WTXL) â With so much misinformation about vaccines, one Georgia health care leader wants to make sure people have the facts.
South Georgia Medical Center is planning to educate people.one shot at a time.
As COVID-19 hospitalizations climb, understanding hesitancy may shed light on getting more people vaccinated. You can go online and find any reason the vaccine causes something like birth defects and so on and it s just ridiculous, said psychiatrist, Dr. Joe Morgan, with South Georgia Medical Center had to say.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â South Georgia Medical Center will begin transitioning from drive-thru COVID-19 vaccine and testing to traditional walk-in visits on May 17, 2021.
To date, more than 31,000 people have been vaccinated and more than 86,000 tested by the health system.
SGMC says with lower demand and more vaccination and testing sites available throughout the community, this transition will allow SGMC to better utilize its resources while still providing valuable services.
SGMC will continue to monitor demand for both testing and vaccinations, staying ready to make adjustments if warranted.
