Buncombe County Vaccine Info

Buncombe County -- Buncombe County Government For Immediate Release

Jan. 18, 2021

All online vaccine appointments are currently filled.
More appointments will become available when vaccine allotments are announced from the state.

BCHHS began administering vaccine to those in the previous Phase 1a on Dec. 22. Since then, BCHHS has administered 3,000 vaccines with more than 2,800 appointments scheduled for this week.
Those individuals needing the second dose of the vaccine will receive a direct communication from BCHHS with next steps using the contact information provided at the first vaccination. They do not need to call or go through the online portal to schedule that appointment.

Because vaccine supplies are currently limited, states must make vaccine available in phases. View the phases here: https://files.nc.gov/covid/documents/vaccines/NCDHHS-Vaccine-Infographic.pdf
NCDHHS determines the vaccine allocation to counties. Current vaccine supply remains low.

At this time, there are no vacant appointments. Community members can receive information about vaccination phases and how to schedule appointments by signing up for the COVID-19 email newsletter at buncombeready.org. Community members can also receive alerts to their phones by texting “BCAlert” to 888-777.
