Beginning Wednesday, all frontline essential workers are eligible to get a vaccine thanks to Gov. Roy Cooper announcing that the state was moving up the timeline by one week.
The move was spurred by increasing vaccine supply, including the addition of the single-dose Johnson and Johnson version, which received FDA Emergency Use Authorization during the weekend.
The expanded list of those now eligible for vaccines includes workers in critical manufacturing, education (including college instructors), essential goods, food and agriculture, government and community services, health care and public health, public safety, and transportation.
