Nov 20      Currently there is a national shortage of H1N1 vaccine. Vaccine manufacturers are working furiously to bring more product to market, but it may be several more months before all who want to be vaccinated against H1N1 are able to obtain it. Meanwhile, public health authorities, hospitals, clinics, and private doctors offices are doing their best to provide vaccine. In many cases, orders have not been filled or have only been partially filled. As a result, a vaccine site that has vaccine available on one day may have run out by the next day.

This situation is understandably frustrating for the public. In an effort to assist the people of Georgia, the Health Department has developed tools to help people locate vaccine in their immediate area. Please call these sites before proceeding to them to be sure that they have vaccine in stock.

This link is to the Georgia Public Health Vaccine Locator tool. It can identify vaccine clinic sites based on zip code.
