Duplin County COVID-19 call center opens Tuesday to book vaccine appointments

KENANSVILLE, NC (WWAY) — Duplin County will begin hosting community COVID-19 vaccination events at locations around the county.

Community events will be available by appointment only to eligible vaccine groups designated by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.

The Duplin County Health Department has established a call center, which can be reached at (910) 296-2389, to schedule appointments for vaccinations at the community events.

The call center will open on Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., to book appointments for the following community vaccination events:

• February 12 at Rose Hill-Magnolia Elementary School (Rose Hill)
• February 19 at Wallace Elementary School (Wallace)

The call center will remain active until all appointments are booked for each event, at
which time a voice message will indicate that all appointments are full. If additional
vaccine doses become available each week, then the call center will be activated to fill
additional appointments. Updates on the call center opening and closing can be found on
the Duplin County Government Facebook page and under “Latest News” on the Duplin
