COVID-19 Vaccinations will soon be offered at the Greensboro Coliseum. 

Guilford County and Cone Health will start providing vaccinations at the coliseum for those 75 and older on Tuesday, January 19th.  The vaccinations will be by appointment only.

Guilford County residents can register through a county website, while non-residents can sign up through Cone Health. In-person registration at the coliseum will begin this Friday at 10 a.m. Walk-ins will not be accepted.

About 750 people per day will initially be vaccinated, with capacity expected to increase in the coming weeks.

County vaccination clinics at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Greensboro and the High Point Community Center at Oak Hollow Mall will remain open, while all other locations will close.

Neal Charnoff joined 88.5 WFDD as Morning Edition host in 2014. Raised in the Catskill region of upstate New York, he graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1983. Armed with a liberal arts degree, Neal was fully equipped to be a waiter. So he prolonged his arrested development bouncing around New York and L.A. until discovering that people enjoyed listening to his voice on the radio. After a few years doing overnight shifts at a local rock station, Neal spent most of his career at Vermont Public Radio. He began as host of a nightly jazz program, where he was proud to interview many of his idols, including Dave Brubeck and Sonny Rollins. Neal graduated to the news department, where he was the local host for NPR's All Things Considered for 14 years. In addition to news interviews and features, he originated and produced the Weekly Conversation On The Arts, as well as VPR Backstage, which profiled theater productions around the state. He contributed several stories to NPR, including coverage of a devastating ice storm. Neal now sees the value of that liberal arts degree, and approaches life with the knowledge that all subjects and all art forms are connected to each other. Neal and his wife Judy are enjoying exploring North Carolina and points south. They would both be happy to never experience a Vermont winter again.
