DECATUR, GA– Changes are coming for COVID-19 testing and vaccine operations provided by the DeKalb County Board of Health, as the organization continues to increase vaccine availability via its health centers and mobile health units.

  • COVID-19 Testing Operations
    • The COVID-19 testing site at Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church, located at 1879 Glenwood Ave. SE, in Atlanta, will permanently close. This site is currently open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
    • COVID-19 testing will move to the parking lot of the Board of Health’s North DeKalb Health Center, located at 3807 Clairmont Rd., NE, in Chamblee. Testing hours will be Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. until noon.
  • COVID-19 Vaccine Operations

    • COVID-19 vaccination in South DeKalb will be replaced by the Board of Health’s mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinics, using the new mobile units purchased with CARES Act funding.

    • In addition to mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinics, COVID-19 vaccine will be available at all Board of Health regional health centers in DeKalb County.
