CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Starting Wednesday, Mecklenburg County Public Health is opening additional first dose vaccination appointments at Bojangles’ Coliseum on a weekly basis.
Appointment slots will be made available beginning every Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Groups 1-5 are eligible to schedule appointments.
Beginning April 7, all individuals 16+, living or working in Mecklenburg County may make a first dose appointment at StarMed.Care or by calling the MCPH COVID-19 Hotline at 980-314-9400 (Option 3 for English and Option 8 for Spanish). If no appointments are available, eligible individuals may join the waitlist at MeckNC.gov/COVID-19.
Health officials are encouraging everyone to make only one vaccine appointment. If you secure multiple appointments, please cancel any appointment you will not attend so that another eligible individual may use that appointment.
If you need transportation to your vaccination appointment, contact the Mecklenburg County Transportation System at 980-314-7600.
