“Our Forsyth County Board of Commissioners recognized the need to make more appointments available, so residents could sign up to receive the COVID-19 vaccines,” County Manager Kevin Tanner said.

“Our Emergency Management Director Chris Grimes pulled together resources from the County’s
Information Systems & Technologies, Fire Department and Sheriff’s Office, as well our partners at
Northside Hospital and Public Health, to make these appointments available. We also greatly
appreciate the two organizations from our faith community who are allowing us to use their facilities.”

The county’s vaccine distribution is intended to supplement that of public health. Vaccines will
continue to be provided by private physicians, pharmacies and public health, as available.
