Announcements for Thursday, Feb. 11:
Onslow County has received new positive cases of COVID-19 as of Feb. 10. Positive cases now total 14,210 with 125 deaths and 13,553 cleared. Onslow County is at 7.6% positive, while the state is at 7.9% positive.
Until more is known about future allocations of vaccine for Onslow County, the Onslow Citizens Phone Bank will be unable to continue scheduling vaccine appointments for persons aged 65 and above. Citizens may continue calling to put their name on the list of those awaiting appointments. Contact the Citizens Phone Bank for appointments at 910-989-5027.
Due to a limited supply of the COVID-19 vaccine, walk-in vaccinations for TRICARE eligible beneficiaries 75 years and older will be put on hold at this time. This change takes effect immediately. Until more vaccines arrive, NMCCL will only be vaccinating those beneficiaries with previously-scheduled appointments, those receiving their second dose, those preparing to deploy outside the United States and other critical national capabilities, and Department of Defense frontline essential workers. Vaccines for those who meet this criteria will continue to be given from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday at Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune’s Building 40.
