Henderson County Department of Public Health responds to North Carolina Group 3 vaccination timeline

Posted on — Community Bulletin

Press release from Henderson County Department of Public Health:

Gov. Roy Cooper announced yesterday (Feb. 10) that he would open Group 3 starting with teachers and childcare workers on Feb. 24 and expand to others in Group 3 on March 10. In the press conference it was implied that school staff/childcare workers would be vaccinated starting on Feb. 24 (rather than waitlisted). It is unclear at this point whether or not there will be a separate allocation to accomplish this. Henderson County Department of Public Health and key partners are working to understand what the impacts may be to current vaccine operations.
