I welcome a more nuanced assessment, but @GaDPH Jan. suspension of an Elbert County provider for vaccinating teachers sent a clear message: local authorities must follow the will of @GovKemp, even as top-down control slows local decision making.

"At the discretion of the Commissioner, DPH may assess penalties and/or require corrective action for the
following:
• Administering COVID-19 vaccine to recipients outside of the current phase, as those phases are
identified on DPH’s website."
