Many will have to find a new vaccination location in Georgia as the state announces the closing of eight mass vaccination sites.

Earlier this week, James Stallings, Director of Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security, announced plans to shut down operations at the Delta Air Museum outside Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and seven other sites across Georgia on May 21st. In addition, state health officials would only be giving out the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine and the second Pfizer doses beginning next week until the closures.

Stallings added that more people could gain access to the vaccine at places like local pharmacies or doctor's offices.
