By Sarah Tate Jan 25, 2021 Following North Carolina's recent mass vaccination event at Charlotte Motor Speedway last weekend, the state has announced it will redistribute its supply of coronavirus vaccine to future mass events. As a result, thousands of appointments across the state are being canceled. The total number of appointments that have been canceled is not known, but the Charlotte Observer reported that Cone Health, in Greensboro, will cancel 10,400 first-dose appointments this week; second-dose appointments won't be affected. With that large number of cancellations coming from just one provider, the true total could rack up tens of thousand more. "As long as we are getting such a small amount of vaccine as a state, there are going to be challenges and shortages as we try to ensure equitable access to vaccine, while getting shots into arms quickly," said
