DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) Millions of North Carolinians feel left behind in the state s new COVID-19 vaccine priority list. It s just awful to be in this kind of position where you have to honestly argue your worthiness to be in a higher priority. That s an awful way to put it but I m not sure how else to put it exactly, explained Jackie Holcombe.
Holcombe s daughter. Lindsay, has Down syndrome which places her at a higher-risk for death from COVID-19. Lindsay is one of the estimated 3.8 million North Carolinans under 65 years old that have at least one chronic condition.
When North Carolina first released its vaccination plan people with chronic conditions fell in phase 2. Now, state leaders have made changes that cause Lindsay and others with chronic conditions to wait until group 4, instead prioritizing people 65 years and older and frontline essential workers.
