It’s a big day Wednesday for thousands of frontline essential workers across North Carolina because they are now eligible for COVID-19 vaccine.
Gov. Roy Cooper announced Tuesday that the state will more quickly open up COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to those who are frontline essential workers in Group 3 or have serious underlying health issues.
The state had been set to allow a broad group of workers ranging from mail carriers to elected officials to begin receiving vaccines on March 10. But with approval of a single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine and more than 80,000 doses arriving soon, public health officials will now allow frontline workers to get vaccinated starting Wednesday a week earlier than anticipated.
