[Angel Romero]

All,



The state just recently announced that we are moving to vaccinating Group
4, *Adults with High Risk for Exposure and Increased Risk of Severe Illness*,
on Wednesday, March 17th. This group include adults (any age) with
high-risk medical conditions. A detailed list of the medical conditions is
at the end of this email.



The Durham County COVID-19 scheduling list and Duke Health waiting list are
now allowing you to register yourself if you are in Group 4. *Please
continue to help register your family, friends, and neighbors if they are
unable to access these waiting list themselves. *
