Georgians ages 55 and older as well as those with a variety of health issues will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccines starting Monday amid a recent boost in supplies, Gov. Brian Kemp announced this past week.
Vaccines could also potentially be available for all Georgia adults starting next month if the current number of shots that federal officials are sending weekly to the state continues to increase as it has in recent weeks, Kemp said at a news conference.
