COVID-19 in WNC: Focus turns to vaccine distribution as cases stabilize in region
As new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations stabilize following a surge in viral transmission over the holiday season, the focus in North Carolina is turning to vaccines.
The first shots hit the first arms in Buncombe County in late December, and since, county health officials, Mission Health and other providers have administered tens of thousands of vaccine doses, though tens of thousands are still waiting for their shots.
While supplies remain limited, the recent approval of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and newly added providers are speeding up the vaccine rollout.
