Governor Roy Cooper joined bipartisan legislative
leaders to release a PSA urging North Carolinians to get COVID vaccines now
that all adults are eligible for vaccinations. The Governor joined House
Speaker Tim Moore, Rep. Robert Reives, Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger
and Senator Dan Blue in advocating for vaccinations. “North Carolina has
implemented a vaccine distribution plan that gets shots into arms quickly and
equitably and we remain focused on continuing to slow the spread of the virus,”
said Governor Cooper. “In order for our state to turn the corner on this
pandemic, we must come together and ensure that every adult gets their COVID-19
vaccine.” Legislative Leadership shared the following statements: Senate
President Pro Tempore Phil Berger: “When I talk to people around North Carolina
about why I got the vaccine, I tell them that it’s an easy way to help protect
yourself and your family and friends, but it also allows us to get back to
traveling, attending sporting events, and other everyday activities we’ve
missed over the past year. I urge those that are hesitant to get the vaccine to
talk to their doctor and find out more about its effectiveness.” Democratic
Senate Leader Dan Blue: “I took my shot not just to protect myself, I did it to
protect my family, my colleagues, and neighbors. We each need to do our part to
keep each other safe, and to help build a healthier North Carolina.” State
House Speaker Tim Moore Quote: “It’s important to show North Carolinians that
while Republicans and Democrats may not agree on all issues, leaders from both
parties chose to be vaccinated when it was their turn. We want all North
Carolinians to feel comfortable making that same choice so our state can
finally put this pandemic behind us.” House Democratic Leader Robert Reives
Quote: “Getting your vaccine will not only save your life, but the lives of
your friends, family, and neighbors. Together, we can be a stronger North
Carolina.”
