MOORESVILLE, NC — Teachers, child care providers, high-risk medical providers and those 65 and older are eligible to participate in a first-come, first-serve mass vaccination event set for March 1 in Mooresville, county health officials announced Tuesday.

"Numbers will be handed out upon arrival. Everyone that receives a number will be vaccinated. If you do not receive a number, there will be additional vaccination clinics," Iredell County Health Department said.

Following vaccination, participants will receive followup details regarding when and where to go for their second doses through an automated message sent to the phone number used during registration, ICHD said.

This week, teachers in Iredell County and throughout the state will become eligible for COVID-19 vaccines. Gov. Roy Cooper recently announced that North Carolina K-12 and childcare teachers will be prioritized at the front of the line in the state's upcoming expansion of vaccine eligibility to frontline essential workers. Educators and school personnel will be eligible to receive the vaccine Feb. 24, with additional frontline essential workers added to the eligibility list on March 10.
