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 Para El COVID-19!"... We Can Stop COVID-19!

"We believe that getting the vaccine is important because it will help us get through this pandemic and protect us against the virus. We’ve been fortunate enough to not have anyone in our family directly affected, but we don’t want to take any chances. As a small business we have seen what it has done to others in our community and I definitely recommend people who haven’t received it to go ahead and get it." - Loncheria Compadres
"Creemos que recibir la vacuna es importante porque nos ayudará a superar esta pandemia y nos protegerá contra el virus. Hemos estado afortunados de que nadie de nuestra familia se haya visto afectado directamente, pero no queremos correr riesgos. Como pequeño negocio, hemos visto lo que les ha hecho a otros en nuestra comunidad y definitivamente recomiendo a las personas que no la haigan recibido que sigan adelante y lo obtengan." - Loncheria Compadres
