SOUTHEASTERN N.C. More supply is coming to North Carolina, which means more providers have been onboarded to give the shots.
As April 7 approaches, when vaccines open to any North Carolinian that wants one, where to get a vaccine is still top-of-mind for many.
Below are a list of places that are administering or are on a list to receive doses.
County health departments, hospitals, health groups, vaccination events and clinics, and pharmacies in southeastern N.C. are giving the shots. Port City Daily will continue to update the list as more providers are onboarded.
Onslow Memorial Hospital is expected to get the first shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine in Onslow County this week but few other details have been released about who will get the first vaccinations.
Citing security concerns, OMH is not releasing the specific date of receipt of the vaccine but Erin Tallman, senior vice president, patient advocacy and compliance officer, said they anticipate putting out a news release with further information later this week.
Tallman said OMH is expecting about 975 doses of the vaccine.
Onslow County Manager Sharon Russell indicated in a Monday night COVID-19 update that the first vaccinations will include healthcare workers on the front line of treating COVID-19 patients.
