Thousands of teachers, healthcare workers, and seniors rolled up their sleeves across the Charlotte-area Saturday to get their COVID-19 vaccine, with pop-ups and clinics across the Queen City.
Saturday was the second of a three-day mass vaccination clinic at Bank of America Stadium, catered specifically for those getting their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Over the course of the weekend, roughly 20,000 people are expected to become fully vaccinated due to the clinic, hosted in a partnership with Atrium Health, Honeywell, Tepper Sports & Entertainment, and others.
Novant Health also hosted three pop-up clinics across North Carolina Saturday -- two of which were in Charlotte. About 4,400 doses were given out at those clinics, including both first and second doses.
And while there have been concerns over the increasing demand for vaccine supply, on Saturday the Food and Drug Administration cleared a Johnson & Johnson shot that works with just one dose instead of two.
