Laura Pence Cohost of Fox Midday News Gives a News Update on Carolina AM

Beginning Monday, February 8, 2021, those aged 65-years and older can begin scheduling COVID-19 vaccines in South Carolina.

South Carolina residents aged 65 and older, regardless of health status or preexisting conditions, can begin scheduling their appointment to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, Feb. 8.

DHEC’s online tool at scdhec.gov/vaxlocator shows locations currently accepting appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine and provides contact information for scheduling appointments at those locations.

However, supply of the vaccine remains limited for the time being, DHEC said Wednesday.

DHEC said in a news released that additional steps to expedite access to additional South Carolinians – including teachers and others in Phase 1b – will be made based on the use of the vaccine, the number of appointments made, and other information on vaccine supply.
