SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - A new state run mass vaccination site is just days away here in Savannah. It will be one of 9 in Georgia when it opens on St. Patrick’s Day.
Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) has officially taken over a Gulfstream parking lot to create a mass vaccination clinic. They will be able to give about 2,000 first doses of Pfizer’s vaccine starting Wednesday.
“We’re pretty much ready,” said Lisa Rodriguez-Presley, External Affairs Supervisor for GEMA. “Everything is in place we’re getting the vaccine in so we are ready for people to start coming and getting vaccinated.”
