Majority of people in South Carolina now eligible for COVID-19 vaccine MICHELLE LIU, The Associated Press Majority of people in SC eligible for COVID-19 vaccine starting Monday Replay Video UP NEXT The majority of people living in South Carolina are now eligible for the coronavirus vaccine. The state moved to Phase 1B of its vaccine plan beginning Monday. Gov. Henry McMaster said at a news conference last week that teachers, grocery store employees and people with certain medical conditions can sign up for vaccine appointments. The biggest points from today's news conference are that SC will enter phase 1b of vaccine distribution on Monday. That phase will be much wider than first planned. It will include those 55 & up, people 16-64 with pre-existing conditions, as well as a wider range of jobs.— Greg Suskin (@GSuskinWSOC9) March 2, 2021
