More ultra-cold freezers are on the way to help store the COVID-19 vaccine, more specifically, historically minority-serving universities around the state including NCCU and FSU.
Later this month, historically minority-serving institutions in the UNC System including Elizabeth City State University, North Carolina A&T University, UNC Pembroke and Winston-Salem State University received mobile freezers back in January that are capable of safely storing and moving COVID-19 vaccine vials. The universities plan to vaccinate thousands of people based on appointments.
State leaders, HBCUs, and the UNC system are meeting weekly about the logistics.
Dr. Aditi Mallick, the director of the state s COVID-19 response command center, says the partnership will include using community-based groups and churches to sign people up electronically, and the old school way, by going door-to-door.

Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University featured the neighborhood in Pride & Dignity from the Hill: A Celebration of the Historic Happy Hill Community in 2010.
Based on the 2010 U.S. Census, Happy Hill had a population of 3,204 people, said Cheryl Harry, the executive director of the Triad Cultural Arts Inc. in Winston-Salem.
Over the past 25 years, Happy Hill reunions have attracted hundreds of former residents to the Sims Recreation Center where they remembered the people and events that shaped the neighborhood. The 2020 event was canceled because of the pandemic. These reunions show the pride that residents have for the area and are proud for the nurturing family values that young people enjoyed growing up there, Mayor Allen Joines said. It is very appropriate that we recognize and remember the impact that this historic neighborhood has had on our city, particularly during Black History Month. Â
