Officials plan for Group 3 as Walgreens starts COVID-19 vaccinations
Local health departments are working to plan the next phase of COVID-19 vaccinations after Gov. Roy Cooper announced teachers and other school staff will be prioritized before the rest of frontline workers.
Cooper announced Feb. 10 that state residents in Group 3 can start getting the vaccine Feb. 24, starting with anyone working in child care or in PreK-12 schools, followed by all other frontline workers March 10.
Teachers cheered the move, but local health departments are still figuring out how to make that prioritization happen, and wondering if a separate dose allocation will be made to accommodate it, with almost 50,000 people on Buncombe s waitlist, and nearly 16,000 on Henderson County s list.
