Hospitals vaccinating people 65 and older By Caroline Hicks | January 15, 2021 at 6:20 PM EST - Updated January 16 at 10:01 AM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - On Thursday, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services said vaccinators could expand their efforts to give shots to anyone 65 years or older.
But for many health organizations providing vaccinations, there is still a short supply.
Despite the hurdles, 74-year-old Frank Tatum told WBTV he was able to get an appointment, and he wants others to not lose hope.
âFor the last year like most everyone else weâve been sitting here in the house not going anywhere unless absolutely necessary,â Tatum said.
