North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced on Feb. 10, 2021 that teachers and all school personnel who are currently in or returning to in-person roles at daycares, preschools and/or K-12 schools will be eligible for a vaccine as a prioritized group within Phase 3 of the vaccine distribution plan beginning Feb. 24, 2021.

At this time, the Governor intends to open up the eligibility to all of North Carolina’s frontline essential workers on March 10. Additional guidance from the North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services is expected to follow. Learn more about Group 3.
