The COVID vaccine rollout in coastal Georgia has been a hurry up and wait affair for most seniors.
Shirley Chester, 70, is a good example. The Savannah resident began calling the health department to schedule a vaccine appointment the minute she learned she could. She phoned for hours without getting through. When she finally did reach a human, she was only able to give her name and number and told to wait for a call back.
She broke down and cried in frustration.
But on Friday, the health department called her back. Could she come right away and get her shot? She sure could. Her brother drove her to the main building on Eisenhower Drive.
Local nursing home has 108 of 126 residents with COVID-19
