NOW RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE DOSE OF THE VACCINE. >>> MORE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA TURNING AWAY OUT OF STATE RESIDENTS SEEKING THE VACCINE. WRAL BROKE THE STORY THAT OUR STATE IS ALLOWING HEALTH DEPARTMENTS TO WITHHOLD THE VACCINE FROM NONRESIDENTS. WE LEARNED A COUNTY ALONG THE SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER IS TAKING THE OPTION. BRYAN MIMS IS LIVE TO EXPLAIN WHY. >> Reporter: IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF NEW GUIDANCE FROM THE CDC THAT ALLOWS LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS TO BETTER SERVE THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. A WEEK AGO I WAS IN ELIZABETH CITY NEAR THE VIRGINIA LINE WHERE LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIALS DECIDED TO RESTRICT VACCINE DOSES TO IN STATE RESIDENTS. TODAY, I AM IN LUMBERTON ABOUT 15 MILES FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER IN ROBESON COUNTY. BEGINNING TODAY THE COUNTY IS VACCINATING ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE OR WHO REGULARLY WORK IN NORTH CAROLINA. AT THE ROBESON HEALTH DEPARTMENT WE DID FIND A COUPLE SOUTH CAROLINA LICENSE PLATES. SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS WHO RECEIVED THEIR FIRST COVID DOSE IN ROBESON CAN COME TO GET THEIR SECOND SHOTS. JUST NOT THEIR FIRST. THIS CHANGE APPLIES TO CLINICS RUN BY UNC HEALTH SOUTHEASTERN HOSPITAL. THE HEALTH DIRECTOR SAYS FEWER THAN ONE IN FOUR WHO RECEIVED SHOTS IN ROBESON WERE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. >> WE HAD THE OPTION TO SCREEN OUT OUT OF STATE RESIDENTS. >> Reporter: NEW GUIDANCE FROM CDC GIVES LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS THAT OPTION. >> ROBESON LIKE MANY OTHER COUNTIES OPTED TO GO THAT ROUTE BECAUSE WE WON'T HAVE ENOUGH VACCINATIONS ON HAND TO COVER OUR POPULATION. >> Reporter: WE CAME TO ROBESON AFTER I RECEIVED E-MAILS SAYING IT WAS GETTING INFLUX OF PEOPLE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA SEEKING THE VACCINE. WE SPOKE WITH A COUPLE ROBESON RESIDENTS SHOWING UP. DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE FROM OUT OF STATE COMING HERE TO GET THEIR SHOTS? >> THEY NEED TO GET IT SOMEWHERE. IT DON'T MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM. NO PROBLEM. >> NO PROBLEM. >> NOT SO EVER. >> WHY? >> IF YOU WANT IT, GET IT WHERE YOU CAN GET IT. >> Reporter: SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS HAVE ALSO HEADED TO FAYETTEVILLE FOR CLINICS AND THEY CAN KEEP DOING SO. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT JENNIFER GREEN SENT THIS E-MAIL, WE WILL CONTINUE TO VACCINATE REGARDLESS OF AN INDIVIDUAL'S RESIDENCY. HOWEVER WE ARE LIMITING APPOINTMENTS TO THOSE THAT SELF ATTEST THAT THEY LIVE OR WORK IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY. THIS MAY INCLUDE RESIDENTS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. IN ROBESON I SPOKE WITH A GROUP OF FOUR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. THEY LIVE NEAR MYRTLE BEACH. THEY CAME TO LUMBERTON FOR THEIR SECOND SHOT AND DID NOT WANT TO BE ON CAMERA. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE THE VACCINATION PROCESS BACK HOME IS POORLY RUN, DID NOT HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS QUICKER AND MORE PROFESSIONAL HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA. LENA. >> AT LEAST IT'S GOOD NEWS THAT WE ARE DOING THINGS WELL IN
