COVID-19 Vaccine Appointment Scheduling Guide:
DO:
• Call 919-913-8088 to schedule an appointment. This is the only phone number available for appointment scheduling for the Orange County Health Department. Our scheduling line will be available Monday - Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. In Orange County, you may also get a vaccine appointment through UNC Health by calling 984-215-5485.
• Call back later, if you don’t reach us. Due to high volume and staffing we can’t return calls.
• Please be patient! We understand your frustrations with the COVID vaccination process. We feel the same frustration due to the limited doses of the vaccine and we are training additional staff as quickly as possible to answer calls and emails.
PLEASE:
• Wait until it is your turn! Even though you may be anxious, please DON’T call to schedule (or fill out the vaccine interest survey) before you are eligible. We are currently scheduling Group 1 and Group 2 (adults 65 or older) only.
• Don’t call this phone number for general inquiries. In order to make appointments as quickly as possible, we will use 919-913-8088 for VACCINE SCHEDULING ONLY. For general information:
