Atlanta Housing (AH) is proud to announce that it is partnering with The Family Health Centers of Georgia to vaccinate 118 AH residents Friday, Feb 19. AH will provide transportation using social distancing, masks and sanitation per CDC guidelines. Additional vaccinations will occur next week as AH development partners provide onsite clinics for eligible residents.
“It is our goal to ensure that all eligible residents in AH-owned facilities are fully vaccinated to ensure their health, safety and well-being,” said Dr. Christopher Edwards, chairman of the Atlanta Housing Board of Commissioners. “CEO Eugene Jones and his capable staff have done an excellent job of keeping our residents safe during the pandemic, but the only way to ensure their continued safety is through widespread vaccination.”
