ALBANY — The Southwest Health District 8-2 announces that appointments for vaccines in all 14 counties can now be made online through the Georgia Department of Public Health’s (DPH) vaccine scheduling system called Vaccine Registration and Administration Solution (VRAS) system.

Those who qualify for vaccines can now schedule appointments for any of Southwest Public Health’s counties by clicking on the link at southwestgeorgiapublichealth.org or by visiting https://gta-vras.powerappsportals.us/.

VRAS, like the system used to schedule COVID-19 testing, allows users to search for the closest vaccine appointment, based on the user’s ZIP Code and availability. DPH plans to add a Spanish registration option to VRAS later this month.

In addition to the online option, vaccine appointments can still be made by phone. Contact your local health department or the call center for scheduling at (229) 352-6567.
