Cone Health is offering as many appointments as possible based on the state's weekly vaccine allocation. More appointments will be open each week as new vaccine shipments come in.
Those without internet access or email accounts should call 336-890-1188, Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. for help booking an appointment through Cone Health.
Cone Health said staff is no longer maintaining a vaccine appointment waitlist, and all eligible people who were previously on a waitlist have been contacted about appointment scheduling.
