Archbold Memorial Hospital will again be open to scheduling COVID-19 vaccine appointments for eligible community members. Archbold has worked diligently and been able to administer over 16,000 vaccine doses since vaccination began in mid-December.

The state of Georgia is still in Phase 1A+ of their vaccine distribution which includes: healthcare workers, long-term care staff and residents, adults 65 or older and their caregivers, first responders, and funeral home workers. Beginning March 8, 2021: educators, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers and parents of children with complex medical conditions will be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine.

Appointments are available Monday and Wednesday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. An appointment is required to receive a vaccine; walk-ins for vaccines will not be accepted at this time.
