WE'LL CARRY THE BRIEFING LIVE AND ON ALL OF OUR DIBITAL PLATFORMS. >>> KASEY CUNNINGHAM JOINS US FROM THE HOSPITAL AND THERE IS A LIMITED SUPPLY. THIS IS PRECIOUS COMMODITY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. >> Reporter: SOMETHING THE HOSPITAL IS REALLY STRESSING. THEY DON'T HAVE ALL OF THE SUPPLIES READY FOR A MASS VACCINATION. IF YOU ARE IN THAT GROUP THAT QUALIFIES, YOU'RE GOING TO COME HERE TO CAPE VALLEY HEALTH AND GO TO THE REHAB CENTER. DOWN THE STREET HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE SIGN IN THE DISTANCE. IT'S DARK OUT AND SAID INVENT PARKING. THAT IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO GO. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THERE. CAPE FEAR VALLEY HEALTH DID A SOFT LAUNCH AND DOING A RUN THROUGH OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TODAY. YOU CAN SEE HERE. PEOPLE ARE MASKED UP AND ALREADY GETTING THE VACCINE. HOSPITAL OFFICIALS TELL US THEY'RE EXPECTING TO REACH IT QUICKLY AND THEY PROBABLY HAVE TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY STARTING AT 9:00 THIS MORNING AND IS IN THE REHAB CENTER'S AUDITORIUM.

THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE COMING BEFORE 8:30 AND DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE. WE WANTED TO PASS THAT ALONG TO YOU. WE WOULD BE HERE AND MONITORING THINGS AS PEOPLE SHOW UP AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO BRING YOU
