Question:
Why not allow folks over 75 on blood thinners to get vaccinated by the county? Seems like you're excluding a lot of high risk folks.
Answer:
In order to ensure the safety of those being vaccinated, we are excluding persons that have both contraindications and precautions that could put them at risk in a mass distribution setting such as our PODS. This does not mean they are not able to receive vaccine through other avenues such as their providers, a pharmacy, etc. once vaccine is available through other entities beyond the health department.

Question:
My wife and I have appointments for vaccinations in Weaverville. Do we need to bring evidence of non-positive TESTING?
Answer:
There is no need to bring any evidence regarding COVID-19 infection or a negative test result. According to the Moderna Vaccine guidance persons experiencing illness due to COVID-19 would wait until they have recovered from the acute illness before receiving vaccine. This is also true for any acute illness that is moderate or severe in nature (i.e., fever, etc.) that is present at the time of vaccination.

Question:
We checked online nonstop for registration, nothing... and called, leaving 4 voicemails. How is one supposed to have faith in this system? It feel familiar...like everything else around here. :(
Answer:
The online registration closes once the slots are filled. There will be more PODS dates coming soon with information on registration. We are working with state and local partners to address vaccine supply limitations and we are working to address any issues with registration systems.

I registered my parents for the vaccine event on 1/29 and 1/30. When will they receive an appointment time?
Answer:
The appointment time would be scheduled at the same time as registration by the person that is registering for the PODS. If you have not received an email confirming your scheduled time, you will need to contact public health for assistance. Only those who successfully registered for vaccination can schedule their appointment at this time. If you haven't completed your registration, you will need to sign up when registration reopens as all appointment slots for the PODS on the 29th and 30th... Read more
