SALISBURY — The number of people newly vaccinated for COVID-19 with one dose grew by less than 1% this week, according to state data.

The small increase comes as communities across the state are administering fewer vaccines than when eligibility criteria was more restrictive. Data for the week of May 3 was incomplete Friday, but first doses of vaccinations administered across the state for the week of April 26 (101,892) and April 19 (129,411) were the lowest since the week of Feb 15, when 80,669 people received a first dose, according to North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services data.

During the week of Feb. 15, North Carolina was still only vaccinating health care workers, people 65 and older and workers in long-term care facilities. Now, all adults can receive a vaccination. The Pfizer vaccine also has been OK’d for people 16 and older.

In Rowan County, state data show the number of first doses this week growing by 0.7% — to a total of 38,768. After including veterans receiving care at the Salisbury VA, which isn’t in state data and dates back to the start of vaccinations, the total number of first doses administered is about 44,700.

People considered fully vaccinated, which includes two doses of Pfizer or Moderna varieties and one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, grew by a larger number — 1.5% — to a total of 32,905. The VA Health Care System doesn’t make county of residence available for full vaccinations on its data portal. State data doesn’t make clear whether the sharper increase is because more people opted for the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccines instead of the two-dose Pfizer or Moderna varieties.

Across North Carolina, at least 4.18 million people have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, which is 39.8% of the total population and 50.3% of the adult population. An estimated 34% of the state’s total population and 43.6% of adults are fully vaccinated.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 150.42 million Americans have received at least one dose, which is 45.3% of the total population and 57.4% of people 18 and older.

• After initially being reported at five cases, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services on Friday reported six COVID-19 positives in a cluster at Granite Quarry Elementary.

All six positives in Granite Quarry Elementary are children.

State Veteran’s Home in Salisbury, two staff and three resident cases at Alpha Concord Plantation, one staff and four resident cases at Deal Care Inn and two resident cases at Hands LLC of Rowan.
