North Carolina will start vaccinating Group 3, frontline essential workers, starting Feb. 24, Gov. Cooper announced Wednesday.
Cooper said the vaccines will start with educators, child care providers and school personnel. About 240,000 people are estimated to be in this group.
Cooper said they will then expand to additional Group 3 frontline workers on March 10.
“I am grateful to all of our educators and school personnel for going above and beyond in this pandemic to care for children and help them continue to learn,” said Governor Cooper. “Starting with a smaller number of Group 3 frontline essential workers helps providers streamline vaccine distribution effectively and efficiently.”
Group 3 includes frontline essential workers, who are in sectors essential to the functioning of society and who are at substantially higher risk for exposure to COVID-19.
