The Caldwell County Health Department has administered 2722 doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

“Our staff has risen to the challenge and created a smooth and efficient process for administering vaccines,” said Caldwell County Public Health Director Anna Martin. “With the help of nursing students from Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute, we have the capacity to vaccinate about 400 people per day, but we do not receive enough to operate at that capacity.”

To date, 3600 doses of vaccine have been received by the department, and staff expects to administer the most of the remaining 938 doses by the end of the week.

Appointments are being scheduled with people 65 and older who have signed up for the department’s waiting list. Due to the length of the waiting list and limited supply of vaccine, it may take four to six weeks to receive a call for an appointment.

Anyone can sign up for the vaccine waiting list online at vaccine.caldwellcountync.org, or by calling 828-426-8486 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information about being vaccinated by Caldwell UNC Health Care, visit YourShot.org or call 828-757-6487.

Eight cases — five in the 28645 Zip code and three in 28630 — were reported. Two patients are under the age of 17; one is between 18 and 24; three are between 25 and 49; one patient is between 50 and 64; and one is between 65 and 74.
