The Lenoir County Health Department is set to begin Phase 1-B of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution to county residents next week, Monday through Friday, Jan. 11-15, according to a county press release.
Vaccinations will not take place at the health department but rather at the Lenoir County Livestock Arena, located at 1791 N.C. 55.
Residents must have an appointment to receive a vaccination. Residents 75 and older are asked to call the following phone numbers to set up appointments: 252-526-4202 or 252-526-4200, Ext. 4323.
When residents call those numbers, they will speak with a health department staff member who will collect basic information. Residents will receive a follow-up call for appointment scheduling and to complete registration. If residents do not reach a staff member when they call, they are asked to leave a message and their call will be returned as soon as possible
