Majority of Georgia Hospitalizations and Deaths during the Unvaccinated Surge are Unvaccinated

The vast number of COVID patients who are hospitalized are unvaccinated. The best way to provide relief to our healthcare, EMS and front line workers who are exhausted and overwhelmed is to get vaccinated. Please do your part, wear a mask, especially indoors and GET VACCINATED.

95% of ALL COVID patients at EGRMC are NOT VACCINATED
