MOCKSVILLE, N.C. — Novant Health will host a COVID-19 vaccination event at the Davie Family YMCA on Wednesday, March 24, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Novant Health will administer approximately 600 first doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Community partners helped to identify patients for this event to reach the underserved community with equitable distribution of the vaccine. All community vaccination events are by appointment only and this event is full.
Novant Health will also have a mobile mammography unit on-site to provide approximately 30 prescheduled mammogram screenings for patients.
This is the first vaccination event held at a YMCA of Northwest North Carolina location so far, and another example of the organizations joining together to serve the needs of the community during the ongoing pandemic.
“As we begin to make strides as a nation and community against the virus, the Y is proud to partner with Novant Health to help in their efforts to distribute vaccines to the public,” said Stan Law, president and CEO of the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina.
“We are excited to partner with the Davie Family YMCA to host this outreach event,” said Laura Holby, director of community engagement at Novant Health. “While COVID-19 has created many new challenges, it has also brought out the best in our community partnerships, as we work together to meet patients where they are and put an end to this pandemic.”
