CHARLOTTE — The Mecklenburg County Health Department will continue to offer drive-thru COVID-19 vaccinations at Bojangles Coliseum through June.

“We are proud of the role that Bojangles has had in the County’s COVID-19 vaccine response and continue to support StarMed’s efforts to equitably deliver vaccine in the County,” Dr. Meg Sullivan, Medical Director of Mecklenburg County Public Health, said.
If you received a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at Bojangles Coliseum, health officials said you will continue to get information from StarMed about options for second doses, including alternatives for dates when the clinic is closed.
