The health department has started releasing information about vaccine delivery, so those numbers will be included here also, as well as charted on a regular basis, although all the numbers can show us is the capability of the federal and state governments to deliver the vaccines to Macon County because Macon County Public Health, after a rough start, can now deliver shots in arms faster than the federal and state governments can deliver them or are likely to be able to deliver them in the foreseeable future.

Vaccines Given on April 28th 70
Current Inventory 740
Total Vaccines Given 12,261
To register to receive the vaccine and to be contacted when appointments for your group are available, please call 828-524-1500. The vaccine call center is open from 8:00am – 5:00pm Monday through Friday, until further notice.

Known Active COVID-19 Cases

These are the known active cases of COVID-19 in Macon County. The actual number is higher, but since everyone is not being tested on a daily basis, we can’t know the true number, and not enough tests are being performed that allow us to guess at it with any accuracy.

Detected, Recovered, and Known Active Cases This chart shows the number of COVID-19 Cases that have been detected (represented by the blue line), the number of known active cases presumed to have recovered (represented by the green line), the number of known active cases (represented by the red line), and the number of known deaths (represented by the purple line). The number of known active cases has fallen below the number of known deaths.

Demographics Table from Macon Public Health The format has been changed by the health department more than once during the pandemic, so the useful information for long-term study is limited.
