Where, when can I get a vaccine in Bladen County or surrounding areas? Here’s a list

State guidelines for who can receive the vaccine for the coronavirus changed on Thursday following an announcement by Gov. Roy Cooper in Raleigh.

Starting Wednesday, a release says “people in Group 4 who have a medical condition that puts them at higher risk of serious illness and people who live in certain congregate settings will be eligible for vaccination. The rest of Group 4, which includes other essential workers will become eligible April 7.”

Here’s what that means in Bladen County and at select nearby medical facilities:

• Bladen County Health Department: Call 910-872-6291 to check availability for appointments. This COVID-19 hotline is the only way to secure an appointment.

The Health Department will begin taking Group 4 people with a medical condition, as prescribed by the governor’s order, on Wednesday. Those with appointments should bring health insurance card; be on time but no more than 15 minutes early; wear a short-sleeved shirt for easier accessibility; for second dose people, bring the COVID-19 vaccination card.

There’s no cost to anyone to get a vaccination.
