ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. (WBTV) - Rowan County’s drive thru COVID-19 vaccination clinic was back in operation on Thursday, with 600 doses of the vaccine distributed. The county had hoped to hold these clinics all week, but high demand and a limited supply of the vaccine made that impossible.
Like every other county, Rowan is dependent on the state of North Carolina to supply the vaccines. Rowan Health Department Director Nina Oliver says they know a shipment is coming next week, but don’t know when it will arrive, or how many doses they’ll receive.

The health department received the Moderna vaccine, which does not require the ultra-low cold storage.
It will require two doses spaced 28 days apart for each individual who would like to take it.
“We finally have a weapon to add to our three tools – wearing masks, washing your hands, and waiting six feet apart,” said Public Health Director Nina Oliver. “We are ready to administer this COVID-19 vaccine to those Essential 1A individuals who would like to take it. COVID-19 vaccination is not mandatory.”
