From the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services

We have received an influx of applications since the COVID-19 Vaccine Management System (CVMS) Provider Enrollment Portal opened to providers on January 11, 2021 and thank you for your enthusiasm around COVID-19 vaccine administration. Given the number of applicants, we want to provide insight into how providers are currently being approved for enrollment.

Please understand that while qualified providers are welcome to enroll, applications will be reviewed in an order aligned with the prioritization phases, and the timeline for approval will vary. The table below highlights the six prioritization groups as well as target timing for enrollment decisions.

Provider Type	Target Approval Timing
(1) Hospitals, Health Systems, LHDs	November / December
(2) FQHCs, LTC Pharmacies, LHD Identified Partners, Correction Health, Mass Vaccinators	December / January
(3) Family Medicine/Internal Medicine, Medical Directors SNF, Occupational Health	January / February
(4) Retail Pharmacy, Pediatric Primary Care, Independent Practice Specialty	February / March
(5) Other Providers (e.g. Dental, Optometry)	TBD pending executive authorization to administer COVID-19 vaccines
(6) Other Entities (e.g. Labs, Colleges, Universities)	TBD

We ask for your patience as we review the thousands of provider applications. Please also remember that provider enrollment approval does not guarantee vaccine allocation. We will update you as we receive more information on the timing and prioritization of enrollment applications.

Thank you for your continued support,
NC Immunization Branch
