ELBERTON, Ga. (AP) A northeast Georgia medical practice that disobeyed state guidelines and vaccinated teachers from the local school system has lost its appeal to have its supply of COVID-19 vaccines reinstated. However, the state Department of Public Health says it will send more vaccines to five other sites in Elbert County, northeast of Athens on the South Carolina state line.
“Because The Medical Center of Elberton violated a critical component of the provider agreement, DPH is not able to rescind the suspension from the COVID Vaccine Program,” Public Health Commissioner Kathleen Toomey wrote Friday in a letter to the Medical Center of Elberton in a letter reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
