Harris Teeter is offering limited quantities of the COVID-19 vaccine by appointment only at select North Carolina locations beginning the week of March 1.

The vaccine will first be available at select Harris Teeter pharmacies in Charlotte, Goldsboro, Hampstead and Rocky Mount.

Appointments must be made online for those who are currently eligible. Second dose appointments are scheduled simultaneously with the first dose appointment.

Individuals with an appointment will need to provide a valid driver’s license or government issued identification card. While the vaccine is at no out-of-pocket cost, patients with health insurance should bring their insurance card to their appointment, according to a statement from Harris Teeter.

The company plans to continue administering the vaccine in a phased approach, based on state guidelines, as allocations are available to pharmacies.

"It is our goal that every Harris Teeter that operates a pharmacy will eventually be administering the vaccine in store," said spokeswoman Danna Robinson. "Right now, we're starting with a smaller population of stores that have received their first initial 100 vaccines."

Those stores are:

HARRIS TEETER PHARMACY Store #003 Charlotte, NC

HARRIS TEETER PHARMACY Store #063 Rocky Mount, NC

HARRIS TEETER PHARMACY Store #088 Charlotte, NC

HARRIS TEETER PHARMACY Store #115 Goldsboro, NC

Harris Teeter is also giving $100 to employees who get the vaccine once they are eligible, but the grocer is not requiring the vaccine for employees.

“Harris Teeter’s trusted Pharmacists remain committed to helping our patients and associates live healthier lives,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter in a statement releasd on March 4. “Throughout this pandemic, Harris Teeter’s most urgent priority has been providing a safe shopping experience for our associates and shoppers. In addition to maintaining safety inside our stores, we’re also committed to helping our communities safely re-open through administering the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible individuals."

The release also indicates, “Governor Cooper’s recent announcement that as of yesterday, March 3, our valued frontline associates are eligible to receive the vaccine, is something we are thrilled about. We have worked diligently alongside our state and local officials to prioritize our associates,” said Robinson. “These valued associates have heroically served our communities during this pandemic. Their work over the last year has ensured our communities have access to food, medicine and other essential items, and Harris Teeter is extremely grateful for their relentless dedication.”
