Forsyth County will soon have three COVID-19 mass-vaccination sites, operated separately by Atrium Health, Novant Health Inc. and the county Department of Public Health.
Atrium said Thursday it plans a mass-vaccination site in the Winston-Salem area through affiliate Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. The site is part of a 1-million-dose public-private partnership initiative focused foremost on Charlotte.
Novant announced Thursday its 1-million-dose initiative that will be allocated through six mass vaccination sites covering 14 counties. Novant did not identify the sites or counties.
However, Novant confirmed there would be at least one in Forsyth, and that the effort would âmore than quadruple the amount of appointments available in each community.â

HURON COUNTY The Region VII Area Agency on Aging is the latest organization announcing it is willing to help give COVID-19 vaccines to Huron County residents.
Dr. Ed Canfield, a Sebewaing physician who also serves as the medical director for Region VII, said the agency was asked by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to be a vaccine provider. The agency is working on arrangements where Region VII nurses will assist the health department in its 10-county coverage area in giving vaccinations, particularly to homebound seniors who are unable to get vaccines at a pharmacy, doctor’s office, or the health department.
