Fulton County has begun offering COVID-19 vaccination services at select times for those who speak Spanish and English.

The bilingual offering is made possible through a mobile unit from CORE, a contractor the county has worked with for months testing and now vaccinating people.

Commissioner Bob Ellis said these sites will target members of the Latin and Hispanic communities.
