Here's how you can schedule a COVID-19 vaccine at Harris Teeter

Thursday, a few Harris Teeter pharmacies in the Charlotte-area started administering COVID-19 vaccines. It’s another much-needed option as the number of people eligible to get the vaccine gets even bigger. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine appointment can feel like winning the lottery. There’s only so much vaccine and the health department and hospital systems already have long waitlists. “The first time I tried to do the StarMed, Novant and Atrium but unfortunately there weren't any appointments available,” said Paige Stryker. She works for Loaves and Fishes and is a frontline essential worker eligible for the vaccine under Group 3. As more people become eligible to get the shot, getting an appointment becomes more competitive. Some positive signs that vaccine distribution is gaining momentum, more places, like Walgreens and Harris Teeter are administering the vaccines. “When I finally got that confirmation email from Harris Teeter I kind of cried," Stryker said. "I'm just so excited to move forward and escape what we've all been dealing with for the past year." The no-cost vaccination is available at select Harris Teeter Pharmacies by appointment only while supplies last. Appointments can be scheduled using Harris Teeter’s online vaccine appointment scheduler. https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/hea...
