Education workers will leap to the head of the line for COVID-19 vaccines on Feb. 24. More than a million seniors are still waiting for their first dose. Seniors will share their priority status with teachers, child-care workers, and anyone working in Pre-K-12 schools, beginning Feb. 24. The state has vaccinated only 40.7% of its senior citizens, and hundreds of thousands of seniors still haven't gotten their vaccination, as of Wednesday, Feb. 10. Most North Carolinians don't approve of the state's vaccine rollout, according to an Elon Poll released Tuesday.
