Hawks and Emory Healthcare Encourages Georgia Citizens to 'Take the Shot'

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks and Emory Healthcare, the official healthcare provider of the Hawks, have partnered to encourage and educate Georgia citizens on the importance of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine with recently-updated eligibility criteria providing access to all Georgians aged 16 and older. The new PSA, produced by Hawks Studios, will debut tonight during the Hawks 7:30 p.m. game against the Chicago Bulls on Bally Sports Southeast as well as on Peachtree TV and on the radio at 92-9 The Game, the official flagship of the Atlanta Hawks.

Emory Healthcare clinicians administered the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to individuals from the Atlanta Hawks basketball operations staff, including players, who met the past eligibility criteria in the state of Georgia in March.
