Yesterday counties were allowed to
open up their vaccines to phase three.
That means educators statewide are
now eligible to get the vaccine.
Phase three will then open to
other frontline essential workers.
On March the 10th.
And So what we want to do is we want
to talk about how do teachers make
appointments and how do you make an
appointment if you are not an educator,
but you're still in Group One or Group 2 so?
We're going to take a closer look
here at the processes and we're going
to start with Guilford County Health
and with also with Cone Health.
So let's first start with that.
The Guilford County Health Department
has said it is handling all teacher
vaccinations and GCS teachers have
been contacted on how to schedule
those shots for the next two weeks.
This is key.
Cone Health is handling vaccinations
for all other eligible people 65 and up.
So anyone interested in a cone?
Health vaccination should request an
appointment at conehealth.com/vaccine.
Cone health will then contact people
as those appointments open and you'll
make your appointment at either the
Greensboro Colosseum or at the new
mass vaccination site in Burlington.
Now, if you don't have Internet access,
there is a phone number.
It is 8901188 and when you see it on
the screen there, I gotta tell you,
this number is not an appointment
scheduling number.
It is only for people who need help
because they can not get online.
Alright teachers if he or others.
If you originally had an appointment
with the County over the next two weeks,
we want you to know that you need
to keep your appointment time and
your location time.
The only thing that really is changed
is that a cone health professional
is going to give you your vaccine.
So some cone health doses are also being
distributed through mobile clinics to
help ensure equitable distribution.
Those appointments are made through partner
institutions like North Carolina A&T.
Now let's shift to Forsyth County
when it comes to vaccinating
teachers and school staff.
Wake Forest Baptist,
Novant Health,
and the Forsyth County Health Department are
working together to vaccinate educators.
The Winston Salem Forsyth County School
System and the County private schools
will schedule those vaccinations for you,
which will happen at either the
fairgrounds or the Hanes Mall.
Vaccination site.
I want you to listen to this if
you are not an educator,
but you still need to make a vaccine
appointment in Forsyth County.
You can if you're a Wake Forest
Baptist patient who's 65 or older,
you can schedule an appointment online
through your my Wake Health account.
You can also make an appointment by calling
the number that you see on the screen.
It is 33670 covid now hear this.
Do you need to be a Wake Forest
Baptist patient to make an appointment?
Wake Forest Baptist Health.
Ask people to be as flexible
as possible about the location
of your vaccine appointment.
Now we're going to switch over to
Novant Health if you are 65 and up,
you have a few options
to make an appointment.
You can go to getvaccinated.org.
There you're going to see either,
schedule an appointment or pre
register so that you get notified when
appointments are then made available.
You can also schedule through
your Mychart account now.
If you don't have Internet access.
Or you need help with scheduling.
You can call the number that
is on the screen right now,
855 N HVAC for you and I'm going
to read it off one more time.
But I gotta tell you we're going to
put it on our website as well just
so you know it is 8556482248 now.
You do not have to be a Novant
Health patient to get your shot.
Through Novant Health.
I know that's a whole lot of information,
but we want to make sure that you
have lots and lots of information.
One more thing.
All three health systems agree.
If you are already on a wait list somewhere,
but you've already gotten your shot,
but you need to do is you need to take
yourself off the other waiting list
because you're taking up a space that
could be used for someone else who needs it.
So if you were on a waiting list
and you already got your shot,
make sure you take yourself off.
Alright, we want to make sure that you
can ask your questions to the doctors.
Any kind of COVID-19 question you
can text the doctors, your question,
the number is on your screen.
The number is 336-379-5775 and
we will ask those questions when
we come back.
