Cobb COVID vaccine appointments

Earlier this week Cobb and Douglas Public Health sent out word that online appointments to get a COVID-19 vaccine become available every Friday at 5 p.m.

We’re repeating that message here, with links to sign up and get more information.

As we noted previously, CDPH is doing this one week at a time, as new supplies of the vaccine become available.

On Tuesday, Dr. Janet Memark, director of Cobb and Douglas Public Health, admitted there are “just not enough vaccines” as the online appointment booking page crashed due to overwhelming demand.

That sign-up page has been down intermittently during the week.

This is the continuation of phase 1A+, which is limited to first responders, health care workers and people 65 and over.

Vaccinations will take place every Monday-Saturday at Jim Miller Park. Here’s more from CDPH:

Key Points to Remember:

  • Everyone must have an appointment to receive a vaccine. Individuals may come together in the same car if they have appointments for the same day, even if different times. 

    Please be patient as Cobb & Douglas Public Health is adding appointments to the system no more than a week at a time due to uncertain vaccine supply.

    Approved vaccine providers are being activated daily across the state. Please check this Georgia Department of Public Health vaccine locator for vaccine providers: https://dph.georgia.gov/locations/covid-vaccination-site

    There are a limited number of appointments each day, so you may not get an appointment right away.

    Please follow the instructions in your appointment confirmation email.
