Currently, three COVID-19 vaccines are available to Georgians: the Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Each of these vaccines has been issued an emergency authorization by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and has been proven to be both safe and effective in fighting the coronavirus. Though the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out faster than previous vaccines, the same testing process used to produce the flu, polio, measles, and mumps vaccines was applied. In order to achieve herd immunity, we need all of our citizens to do their part. The vaccines do not contain live traces of the coronavirus. The vaccines trigger an immune response in your body, helping you defeat the virus. The Bulloch County Health Department has the Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines available.
