Covid-19 vaccines will be available in Pender County next week at multiple locations, at a time when the inoculation operation is slowing significantly in the tri-county area. For Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender counties combined, only 100 new first doses of the vaccine came inbound this week; local shot providers are drawing from unused stock obtained weeks ago.
Everyone 18 and older can receive a Moderna vaccine at the county health department 803 S. Walker Street in Burgaw at a walk-in clinic running everyday next week from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Except for Thursday, when Moderna shots will be available at the Pender County Annex 15060 Highway 17 in Hampstead.
