Caldwell County Health Department confirmed four deaths today. Two patients were over the age of 75, and two were between the ages of 65 and 74. Two patients were reported to have underlying health conditions.
Twenty-five cases — 15 in the 28645 Zip code, four in 28630, four in 28638, one in 28611, and one in 28601 — were reported. Four patients are under the age of 17; one is between 18 and 24; 11 are between 25 and 49; seven patients are between 50 and 64; one is between 65 and 74; and one is over the age of 75.
Appointments to receive the COVID vaccine are being scheduled with people 65 and older who have signed up for the Health Department’s waiting list. Due to the length of the waiting list and limited supply of vaccine, it may take four to six weeks for people in this age group to receive a call for an appointment. Please note, it is not necessary to sign up multiple times.
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.
