Campaign Purpose

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Georgia city leaders activated their influence to create communities of immunity by encouraging their city staff and residents to get vaccinated and helping their neighbors overcome vaccine access issues. Now, it’s time to showcase your city’s vaccination rate through GMA’s It’s Worth a Shot “Cities Lead Vaccination Challenge!”

Campaign Goal

The goal of the Cities Lead Vaccination Challenge is to reach a 100% vaccination rate among all city staff in Georgia’s 537 cities. We know that’s a huge goal, but we believe in all cities!

Why Your City Should Participate

  • Help build a state of immunity
  • Lead the state and your city by example
  • Better protect your communities, small businesses and Georgia’s economy
  • Limit the chance of an interruption to city services due to city staff contracting the coronavirus
