Thousands call for appointments to get the COVID-19 vaccine in Burke County every day. Only 1,000 get it each week.

âWeâve had a mass vaccination plan in place for 15 to 20 years, which we exercise, but if you donât have the vaccine to give people, it doesnât work the way it should,â she said. âHas it made people lose trust in us and has it made people mad at us? Yes, and Iâm sorry.â
