Although it is recommended to stay in your area, dr. Mandy Cohen, secretary of health and human services, said it was good to drive across the province for a vaccine.
The best practice is to know that you own the policy of your country, but if your provincial or local hospital has been booked with appointments, but you know that a neighboring country still has openings, Cohen said you can not stop it .
“You do not have to be confined to your country. Provinces can and must and must serve all jurisdictions,” Cohen said.
By ‘all jurisdictions’ it means even people who come from outside the state.
“These vaccines are paid for by the federal government. They are not supposed to be limited to one place or one country,” Cohen said in a report by WCNC Charlotte.
Cohen also said the NCDHHS will provide rides for people who need transportation to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. About $ 2.5 million in coronavirus assistance will be distributed to local transportation agencies.
The first step is to call and get a registered appointment for your vaccine. Once you have an appointment, contact your local transportation agency to schedule your appointment for a ride.
According to an NCDOT spokesperson, some agencies will offer free rides, and others will not depend on the transportation agency.
