Door-to-door COVID-19 vaccine outreach under way in North Carolina county — and some folks are getting the shots right on their front porches

Outreach groups have been going through certain neighborhoods in North Carolina's Mecklenburg County for several months now, educating and encouraging people to get vaccinated against COVID-19, WCNC-TV reported.

But on Monday, the station said the health department launched a new initiative called Doses to Doors to increase the number of vaccinated residents.

What are the details?

Simply put: Health department workers "armed with COVID-19 vaccines" joined the outreach teams "to make it easy and convenient to get a shot right at home," WCNC reported.
