CHARLOTTE – On December 11, 2020, the FDA authorized the emergency use of the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. A day many Americans have eagerly anticipated for over ten months now, it was followed just one week later by a second emergency use authorization for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
The first vaccines were delivered and administered on December 14. In North Carolina, these limited first doses were reserved for healthcare employees working directly with COVID-19 patients and residents and staff of long-term care facilities. At the beginning of January, North Carolina moved to Phase 1B, which opens vaccine distribution to anyone 75 years or older.
