In the race to vaccinate, it is important everyone has access to the COVID-19 vaccine but that can be challenging in some areas.
One strategy the county is using to make sure the vaccine is being distributed fairly is partnering with local pharmacies.
Mecklenburg County officials are transferring 6,000 doses of Pfizer and Moderna shots to local providers to help with equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution. As part of the effort, seven pharmacies are getting doses from the Mecklenburg County Health Department.
The seven pharmacies are Premier Pharmacy and Wellness Center in east Charlotte, Rx Clinic Pharmacy in southeast Charlotte, Pineville Pharmacy and four pharmacies in Harris Teeter grocery stores.
