The North Georgia Health District prides itself on the relationships we have built within our community over the years. While our health departments have been working diligently to vaccinate all who are eligible, we have noted some gaps. We’ve reached out to several businesses and local trusted community leaders in hopes of raising awareness about COVID-19 vaccine. We appreciate all those who have assisted. Please note these vaccinated friends from our Latino community who want us to know, "¡Podemos Parar El COVID-19!"... We Can Stop COVID-19!
Latin American Association
“The LAA’s NWGA staff and I decided to vaccinate ourselves as a team for the safety and protection of not just ourselves but also our community. As one of the leading voices amongst Latinos in Georgia, we felt it necessary to set an example for our community.” - Eva Rodriguez

Como una de las voces principals entre los Latinos en Georgia, sentimos la necesidad de dar ejemplo a nuestra comunidad.” - Eva Rodriguez
