CHARLOTTE, NC – The Mecklenburg County health department plans to close the Bojangles Coliseum vaccination site by May 22nd. The county health director cited an increase in supply as demand dwindles as well as a shift to a different vaccination strategy.
The news, announced at Tuesday’s county commission meeting, comes as vaccination rates are slowing down and COVID hospitalizations are on the rise.
“We’re trying to remove every single barrier we can,” said Novant Health Dr. David Priest.
He is encouraging people to get the vaccine.
“Right now it’s critical that we make it as easy as possible for anyone who wants the vaccination to get it,” said Dr. Priest.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine ‘pause’ WSOCTV.com News Staff, ZEKE MILLER and LAURAN NEERGAARD, Associated Press
The U.S. is recommending a “pause” in administration of the single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to investigate reports of potentially dangerous blood clots.
In a joint statement Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said they were investigating unusual clots in six women that occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination. The clots occurred in veins that drain blood from the brain and occurred together with low platelets. All six cases were in women between the ages of 18 and 48.
