GBHI Gets Vaccinated for COVID
GBHI takes the FIRST step back to normalcy
The CDC recommends Healthcare Workers to be the first to be vaccinated

In December of 2020, the CDC recommended that healthcare workers be among those offered the first doses of COVID-19 vaccines.



This recommendation was given to serve three purposes:
  • Reduce the risk of exposure to the Healthcare Worker
  • Protect healthcare capacity in hospitals
  • Prevent patients from getting COVID-19

Georgetown Behavioral Health has remained open, 24/7, nights and weekends, throughout the pandemic and is still committed to do so.

If you would like more information on what GBHI is doing to prevent the spread of COVID-19, please go to our website. To find out more information about the COVID-19 vaccines, click below.
