Having access to quality health care is critical, especially as we continue fighting this pandemic. Enroll in NC Medicaid Managed Care between now and May 14 to find plans that work best for you and your family. — PolitiTweet.org

Fast and fair — that's how North Carolina is getting it done. We want everyone in our state to have equal access to this vaccine, and community clinics like these are helping us achieve that goal. https://t.co/iqW7RdwLRU — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

We’re focused on getting these vaccines off the shelf and into arms — and we want those arms to look like the people of our state. These partnerships with trusted community organizations are helping us make our vaccine distribution process fast and fair. https://t.co/adZpFrdW0l — PolitiTweet.org

We know this pandemic has been tough for North Carolinians, schools and small businesses, and these funds will bring needed relief. We're going to work with legislators to revisit the bill and make changes to ensure rental assistance is quickly delivered. https://t.co/4GvVAeyBuZ — PolitiTweet.org

The pandemic is shining a light on the urgent need for affordable health care. Expanding Medicaid will help more than 500,000 North Carolinians get health insurance while creating jobs and boosting our rural hospitals across the state. https://t.co/lBL2xhSSaw — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This is an exciting milestone for our state. These life-saving vaccines are getting us closer to the other side of this pandemic, and we're looking forward to helping more North Carolinians get their shot each day. https://t.co/pN6GqN7XUv — PolitiTweet.org

North Carolina's early move to Group 4 is great news. Thankful for the providers across the state whose efforts helped make this happen. https://t.co/pymshwsghR — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Cooper’s statement on Senate Bill 220: Getting students back into the classroom safely is a shared priority, and this agreement will move more students to in-person instruction while retaining the ability to respond to local emergencies. — PolitiTweet.org

Getting your vaccine will help slow the spread and save lives. Join health and community leaders tonight as they discuss the benefits of getting your shot when it’s your turn. — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. Cooper announced that thanks to the hard work of providers, NC will be moving forward in its phased vaccination process. People in Group 4 with high-risk medical conditions or living in certain congregate settings can get their vaccine starting 3/17. https://t.co/QfvcrXlU3q https://t.co/eR1cZ42cJT — PolitiTweet.org

Until there is enough vaccine, wearing our masks is as important as ever. If we keep looking out for ourselves and each other, we will beat this pandemic and emerge even stronger than before. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

That’s progress, but we still have much more work to do. I’m pleased that our COVID-19 numbers remain stable, and that is due in part to people continuing to wear their masks and use good judgment. We must keep it up. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

So far, about 11 percent of North Carolinians are fully vaccinated and about 18 percent have had their first shots. 66 percent of people 65 and older, our most vulnerable group, have had at least one shot. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Yesterday, I toured the FEMA-supported site in Greensboro, and it’s going well. More than 3,300 shots were given the first day there. I know there are many efforts across the state getting vaccines to people as quickly and fairly as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

The move to Group 4 is good news. It’s possible because of the tireless work of our state health officials, vaccine providers, federal partners, our North Carolina National Guard and Emergency Management and many others. I want you to know your work is making all the difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As with previous statewide group eligibility changes, some providers in some parts of the state may not be ready to move into Group 4 by March 17th, and we want them to make sure they are still meeting the demand in Groups 1-3. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Group 4 will open to people with medical conditions that put them at higher-risk for severe COVID-19 illness. Also eligible starting 3/17 are people living in some congregate settings that increase risk of exposure to COVID-19. More Group 4 members will be eligible beginning 4/7. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

Today, based on vaccine providers' feedback and the expected vaccine supply over the next several weeks, we are announcing that some members of Group 4 will be eligible to receive their vaccine beginning March 17, a week earlier than anticipated. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

This week, @ncdhhs officials have continued to survey providers about how they are handling the demand from Groups 1-3 and whether they have capacity to move forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

With the addition of a third safe and effective one-shot vaccine and a steady increase in both two-shot vaccines, we were able to open all of Group 3 for vaccinations on March 3rd. That meant all of our frontline essential workers could get shots. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As we discussed at Tuesday’s briefing, North Carolina continues to focus on getting vaccines into arms as quickly and as fairly as possible. I’m so grateful that our providers continue to meet that challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Roy Cooper @NC_Governor

As of today, we’ve had 879,825 COVID-19 cases; 2,061 new cases reported since yesterday; 1,039 people in the hospital; and 11,622 people who have died. Our prayers are with those who have lost loved ones or who are fighting this virus. — PolitiTweet.org
