ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (WAVY) – Albemarle Regional Health Services (ARHS) and its county partners will be providing drive-through COVID-19 vaccine clinics February 23 through February 25.
Last week’s winter weather delayed vaccine shipments. ARHS had announced they would not be able to provide clinics this week, but 10 On Your Side confirmed they will receive the doses after all.
The clinics will have a set amount of doses available and will be held on a first come, first served basis.
Per Governor Roy Cooper’s directive, North Carolina will expand to the next wave of COVID-19 vaccinations beginning Feb. 24. Group 3 includes front-line essential workers.
“While we are still targeting groups one and two, we are moving to priority group three, essential workers,” ARHS said in a news release, adding, “The primary focus will be on childcare workers and teachers but other essential workers will also be able to receive the vaccine.”
The current priority groups in North Carolina are:
- Healthcare workers (Group 1)
- Individuals 65 and older (Group 2)
- Essential workers with a primary focus on childcare providers and teachers (Group 3 – active Feb. 24)
If you live in the ARHS region and meet the criteria for the eligible priority groups, you may attend the clinics listed below. Organizers ask that you do not arrive early.
There is a vaccination form on the ARHS website at this link you can print and fill out to bring with you to receive your first vaccine.
NOTE: ARHS will also be hosting a makeup clinic on Tuesday, February 23 for anyone who needs their second dose PFIZER vaccine. This clinic will be from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the Elizabeth City Aviation Commerce Park. This clinic is only for people who received their first dose of the PFIZER vaccine hosted by ARHS on January 6 or 7. You will need to bring the vaccine card you received with your first dose.
