Orange County Health Department Transitions to Walk-Up Vaccination Clinics
The Orange County Health Department is changing up its operations as more county residents are vaccinated, vaccine supply increases and community demand wavers.
In Orange County, roughly 46 percent of residents are partially vaccinated, having received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. At least 36 percent of the county is fully vaccinated.
With these high percentages, Orange County is one of the leaders in the state in terms of vaccination efforts. Statewide, 37 percent of North Carolinians have received at least one dose.
Quintana Stewart, the director of the Orange County Health Department, said the department hit a big milestone just last week, administering its 10,000th first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
