Covid-19 Vaccination Update
A free COVID-19 vaccine will be available to all who want it.

The North Carolina Dept. of Health & Human Services' goal is to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible given the limited supply of vaccines. North Carolina moves through vaccination phases by aligning to federal priorities while empowering local vaccine providers with the flexibility to move to the next priority group as they complete phases and have vaccines available.

Rest assured: you have a spot to take your shot.
  • You will likely need an appointment to get vaccinated. You may have to wait to schedule your appointment to get your vaccine.
  • Your local vaccine provider can help you get your shot. Because supplies are very limited right now, most doctors cannot provide vaccinations in their offices. 
  • You can also call the COVID-19 Vaccine Help Center 1-888-675-4567. It's a free call.

All front line essential workers are now eligible to receive their vaccine.
Need transportation to and from your vaccine provider? People who need transportation assistance to a COVID-19 vaccine appointment should reach out to their local transit agency. You can find your local transit agency online and can call the phone number listed for assistance.

As of March 3, North Carolina has administered over 2.6 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine:

Statewide:
-1,522,971 first doses
-913,296 second doses

Cumberland County:
-38,551 first doses (11.49%)
-25,136 second doses (7.49%)

Update on Schools
Wednesday evening I met virtually with Governor Roy Cooper, Chairwoman Chisolm and Vice Chairman West of the Cumberland County School Board, Superintendent Connelly, and Chairman Davis of the State School Board to discuss our county’s plan to return children to in-person learning.

Chairwoman Chisolm reaffirmed her and the boards commitment to return on March 15th. She and Dr. Connelly also stated they will work to quickly and safely to get K-5 back to full time in-person learning and middle/high school on plan B. Gov. Cooper and Chairman Davis strongly encouraged our system and leaders to stay committed to this plan and and their desire to get K-5 back to in-person by the end of March. We also spoke about the work being done to get all educators vaccinated. Another topic of the call was ensuring our system had all the resources needed for their plan and the latest relief funding to our school system of roughly $56M.

Yesterday Chairman Davis and the state board adopted a resolution outlining the updated guidance from NC DHHS for returning to in-person learning.

These are all good steps forward to return our children to school safely. I remain committed to working together and doing all I can as a state senator for a path to return to school safely.
