Georgia to conduct vital statistics survey statewide
Georgia will ask every family to report births and deaths from the previous year in an intensive survey. The effort is a joint project of the Federal Bureau of Vital Statistics and the Georgia Department of Health with mail carriers delivering registration cards. Dr. Murphy notes Georgia was chosen for demonstration work. Immediately after cards are returned, birth certificates will be issued to parents. Fourteen auto accidents over the weekend killed three Atlantans and injured 19 others, one likely fatally.
