Wellstar and Delta Sigma Theta, Inc., the largest African American women's organization in the world with more than 350,000 college-educated members, have united to reach vaccine-reticent populations in Georgia by sharing personal “My Why” stories and reasons for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

Who: Beverly E. Smith, national president and CEO of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., joined Wellstar team members in sharing a personal reflection about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. A recent poll found that Black voters in Georgia are less sure about vaccine safety than another racial or ethnic group, with 36 percent reporting that they are unsure if the vaccine is safe or not. The video aims to tackle these concerns and offer hope for the future as more Georgians become fully vaccinated. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. national president and CEO, Beverly E. Smith, joins Wellstar team members in sharing a personal reflection about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

Wellstar & Delta Sigma Theta Stick It to COVID

Wellstar aims to provide a vaccine to each and every patient who meets the criteria and wants one—as the Georgia Department of Public Health provides vaccines to the system. As more people become fully vaccinated, it is important for the public to continue practicing safety precautions such as wearing masks, washing hands, and watching your distance.

The public is also encouraged to learn more about the vaccines and below are resources to help educate the community:

  • Wellstar Health System COVID-19 Community Tool Kit
  • Información para la comunidad sobre la vacunación COVID-19 en el Sistema de Salud Wellstar
  • Top Takeaways about Pregnancy and the COVID Vaccine
  • Wellstar COVID Myth Busters: MyWhy Part 1
  • COVID Myth Busters: The Vaccine Was Developed Too Quickly
  • Georgia Department of Public Health Vaccine Information

Consider Getting Vaccinated Now: Wellstar patients are encouraged to visit the Wellstar MyChart scheduling tool to view available vaccine appointment dates, times, and locations. For those people in the community who are not Wellstar patients or who would like to explore additional vaccine scheduling options, the Georgia Department of Public Health has detailed information about various vaccination sites in Georgia with more information on how to schedule an appointment.
