With infectious disease experts lamenting the increase in COVID-19 cases among young people, Davie County Schools will have a vaccine clinic for eligible students at Davie County High School on Wednesday.
Students 16 and up are eligible for the Pfizer vaccine, which has a two-dose regimen. The vaccines will be offered from 10 a.m. to noon at the high schoolâs parking lot.
The school is partnering with the Davie County Health and Human Services to offer the shot.
âThis is a tough group to communicate with from a public health standpoint, with their schedules, and itâs harder for them to be reached as opposed to people who read the daily news,â said Justin White, the deputy director of public health for Davie County Health and Human Services.
Multiple sources have confirmed to
Carolina Journal that 13th District Congressman Ted Budd will enter the U.S. Senate race in the coming weeks. Budd will be campaigning for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Richard Burr by early summer.
Several key grass-roots leaders in Budd’s 13th Congressional District confirm his entry into the race is imminent.
Budd was first elected to a new 13th District in 2016 after courts ordered the drawing of a new state congressional map.
The 13th currently includes some high-performing GOP counties that would be key in the 2022 U.S. Senate GOP primary, including: Alamance, Randolph, Davidson, Davie, and Rowan.

The school system is the first in the Triad to offer the vaccination specifically to staff members. Of Davie County Schools 900 fulltime and part-time employees, 350 signed up for and were vaccinated at a drive-thru clinic at Davie County High School, according to Jenni Pleasant, a spokesperson for the district.
