COVINGTON, Ga. — Some Newton County residents were caught by surprise after state health officials recently moved the Covington site for COVID-19 vaccinations to Conyers.
One resident said it was done without enough notice and could pose a risk to eligible patients who must now travel 13 miles west for the vaccine.
Gwinnett, Newton & Rockdale County Health Departments on Jan. 18 moved one of its two vaccination sites from Covington to a site 13 miles west at the Rockdale Career Academy in Conyers.
