RALEIGH (WTVD) On Wednesday, 750 people received the COVID-19 vaccine at Wake County s Public Health Center. In total, more than 6,500 total have gotten the shot since the county received Pfizer s first shipment.
Ideally, the Wake County Department of Health would like to vaccinate 7,000 people a week, but right now that s not happening. Health leaders realize their vaccination goals are currently out of reach due to the lack of doses.
The county says it s receiving one dose for every 27 people, compared to Durham s one dose for every seven people.
County leaders plan to lobby state officials for more doses, so they can open up more vaccination sites.
