Published December 31, 2020
North Carolina has changed its vaccination plan to get more people 75 and older vaccinated sooner.
Gov. Roy Cooper and Dr. Mandy Cohen, head of the NC Department of Health and Human Services, announced the changes at a news conference Wednesday. They also described efforts to keep people from jumping the vaccine line to get shots before it’s their turn.
“We can’t have folks jumping the line and having their family members or friends, board members, donors, jumping the line and importantly, cannot see folks profiting financially,” Cohen said. “These vaccines are free.
