CORE is currently only providing the first or second dose of COVID-19 vaccines for patients over age 12 at all vaccination sites in Georgia. Boosters for patients under age 12 and additional vaccine doses for immunocompromised patients are still available. We hope to have the new updated booster for age 12+ available mid-September and will provide an update to the Georgia community the CORE Georgia website as soon as we have the new booster vaccine.**
