The Lenoir County Health Department has received numerous messages regarding the upcoming distribution of the Pfizer vaccine, but some people haven’t heard back.
Health department director Pamela Brown and Lenoir County public information officer Bryan Hanks held a press conference Friday at the county’s livestock arena, where the drive-thru distribution will take place next week, to promise residents they will receive a call back about their vaccine appointment.
The health department is set to begin Phase 1-B of the COVID-19 vaccine to distribute hundreds of doses to county residents Monday through Friday, Jan. 11-15, from 8 a.m. to noon each day. The health department received a minimal supply of 975 doses, and vaccinations will take place at the Lenoir County Livestock Arena, located at 1791 N.C. 55.
