In an effort to encourage COVID-19 vaccination in Augusta’s underserved and minority communities, Augusta University Health is set to open a second pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic in South Augusta at Diamond Lakes Regional Park in Hephzibah, Georgia.

The vaccination program will kick off at 2:30 p.m. Monday, April 26, with a press conference featuring Augusta University Health CEO Katrina Keefer, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Phillip Coule and local community leaders.
