“The first doses are going to go to healthcare providers that actively deal with COVID,” Moser said.
Pender County submitted a list to the state for review of 307 healthcare workers who are in close contact with patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 and who want to receiving the vaccine. They will be among the first to get it.
The remaining doses will be given to healthcare providers who may have been left off the initial list or who have changed their mind about receiving the vaccine.
If they have extra doses, the county will begin contacting people who might have indirect contact with COVID-19 patients, including morticians and workers who clean in health settings.
