NC Gov. Cooper expected to update COVID-19 vaccine schedule today. How to watch.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is expected to announce an updated COVID-19 vaccination schedule at a news conference today.

The state is currently vaccinating Groups 1 and 2, which include health care workers and people over the age of 65, and also a portion of Group 3 that includes teachers and those who work with children.

The date to open vaccinations to other front-line workers in Group 3 was set for March 10, but WRAL-TV reported Tuesday that Gov. Cooper is expected to move that date up by as much as a week.

A new one-shot COVID-19 vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson has received emergency use authorization from the federal government and will start arriving in North Carolina this week.

Cooper will appear with North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen.
