CHARLOTTE, NC – Mecklenburg County Health Department vaccine appointments are booked through the first three weeks of February. The reservations were full within hours of their opening.
As the vaccine roll out slowly continues, Atrium hospital is preparing to treat Mecklenburg County patients outside hospital walls for the first time since the pandemic began.
“We are continuing to see increasing numbers, however, we are seeing a plateau over the last seven to ten days,” said Alicia Campbell, an Atrium Health VP.
She says the mobile hospital unit now stationed outside the Pineville location will treat non-COVID, non-emergency patients. The goal is to free up more capacity inside.
Mecklenburg County to start pop-up vaccine clinics in underserved communities as vaccine supply goes up
Mecklenburg County Health Director Gibbie Harris said the county is working with area-partners to create vaccine pop-ups to provide equitable access to minorities. Author: Hunter Sáenz (WCNC) Updated: 12:15 AM EST January 21, 2021
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Minority and underserved communities were hit the hardest by COVID-19 throughout this pandemic. When a vaccine was created, there were questions about whether our underserved communities would have equal access to it.
Currently, county health officials are only giving the vaccine out at Bojangles Coliseum.
However, as the county gets more vaccine, which is happening at a slow pace, health director Gibbie Harris said pop-up vaccine clinics and mass vaccinations will take place at churches and health centers in those underserved communities.
