ELBERTON, GA. (AP) - A north Georgia medical facility was suspended from giving COVID-19 vaccines after state officials said they vaccinated teachers ahead of schedule.
WSB-TV reports that the Georgia Department of Health suspended vaccine supply to the Medical Center of Elberton after learning they were providing vaccines to teachers outside of the population that is currently eligible.
The medical facility will not receive any new doses during the suspension.
Right now, only medical personnel, residents of long-term care facilities and people over 65 are eligible for vaccines in Georgia.
The medical center said it planned to appeal, but the station reported that the appeal was denied.
