More Vaccination Options
Mass vaccination events, larger Family Medicine practices, and Walgreens will begin helping hospitals and county health departments administer COVID-19 vaccinations in North Carolina starting this week.
Posted — UpdatedAs of February 8, North Carolina has administered 1,259,124 vaccinations. Nearly one-quarter of those, or 307,467 to be precise, have been administered in the last week alone. In other words, each week, North Carolina is gaining efficiencies in its distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccines.
Whereas a week ago, there was a relatively short list of places grouped by county one could call to set up an appointment or get on a waitlist, now one can view a map of all providers within a set distance. The user can then click on any marker and see the name, address, phone number and website of that provider. Often those providers provide a link for those eligible to easily put their name on the waitlist.
This week, PNC Arena in Raleigh will be hosting two drive-thru, appointment-only mass vaccination events on February 11 and 13. Health care workers and people 65 and over who have already registered for the wait list will be invited to the drive-thru event.
