Cars lined up in the parking lot of the former Doraville K-Mart store on Buford Highway. Because of the huge turnout, the county closed down the event just before 10:30 a.m. People who were already in line were still able to get vaccinated.
This is the second event the county has held that gave incentives to people who got first and second COVID-19 vaccines as well as booster shots.
