While the City of Alpharetta does not have a direct role in the fight against COVID-19, it is important that we serve as a conduit to verified and reliable information concerning the virus and testing and vaccination resources. The City of Alpharetta sources the information we share on COVID-19 only from three professional public health agencies; the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH), and Fulton County Board of Health. This page has been created to provide a central location for that information; including links at the bottom of the page to finding vaccination locations, making an appointment to get vaccinated, and finding testing locations.
