The Harnett County Health Department is continually working to provide COVID-19 vaccine for Phase 1B, Group 1 which includes Adults 75 years or older, along with any remaining individuals who qualify for the vaccine under Phase 1A eligible health care workers.  Vaccinations will be provided by appointment, to schedule a vaccine appointment please call 910-814-6582. Due to the massive response for the COVID-19 vaccine, the Health Departments’ phone lines, call center and website are at capacity.  The Health Department staff are working to get people vaccinated as soon as possible, but it will take time. We are requesting everyone to be patient, including those still waiting for callbacks for vaccine appointments. 

The COVID-19 vaccine is available free of charge.  Those who are scheduling appointments at the Health Department will receive the Moderna vaccine.   Adults 65 and Older are next to receive vaccine.   Everyone who wants the vaccine will be given the opportunity to get vaccinated.  The timing of the clinics for Phase 1B, will be dependent upon vaccine availability, and the weekly dosage allocation received from North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS).  Together, we will reach our goal of ensuring that every resident who wants a COVID-19 vaccination receives one. 

For questions about COVID-19 vaccine please email covid19vaccine@harnett.org  or to make an appointment please our COVID-19 Vaccine line 910-814-6582 (for persons age 75 years or older  and eligible health care workers.) Vaccinations will be provided by appointment.
