Onslow County, North Carolina (WLOS) On February 10, 2021, Governor Roy Cooper announced that teachers and school staff would move to the front of the line during Group 3 of vaccine distribution.
Governor Roy Cooper’s choice to move school staff to the front of the line has left some senior citizens frustrated and fearful.
Many seniors in the area shared that they would like to receive the COVID-19 Vaccine but have struggled to get vaccinated due to the limited amount available. Some believe the new plans for Group 3 will only make getting vaccinated harder and the wait longer.
“I don’t want to get sick,” Diane Mckillop said. “I am almost 75, and I don’t want to end up on a ventilator in the hospital.”
