More than 45,000 vaccines are expected to be given through these events.

"The state will continue to support our local health departments and hospitals to get shots in arms faster," said NCDHHS Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen said in a statement on Thursday. "These partners were selected because they were able to rapidly increase the number of vaccines they could deliver as part of this effort."
