The data for December 2020 has been moved to the COVID-19 data page.
Information provided by AppHealthCare
Vaccine Doses Administered
These are cumulative total counts since receiving our first shipment of vaccine on December 21st (Alleghany and Ashe) and December 23rd (Watauga). This data will be posted weekly on Fridays.
| County | Total Doses Received | Total Doses Administered* |
| Alleghany | 600 Moderna | 470 Moderna |
| Ashe | 1000 Moderna | 820 Moderna |
| Watauga | 975 Pfizer, 1600 Moderna | 1400 Moderna |
*Doses administered as of Friday at noon.
You may notice a difference between our case count and the NC DHHS state database. Sometimes we get notification of positive results before they show up on the state dashboard. Also, individuals can sometimes get “assigned” to our counties that actually do not reside in our counties. When that happens, we work with the state to get that data reassigned to the person’s place of residence.
Positive Case Count
This number is sourced from AppHealthCare and is typically updated once in the afternoon each day. This is a cumulative case count since testing began.

Positive Cases Identified that Reside Outside Our District Counties

Outbreaks & Clusters as of Thursday, January 14, 9:00 am Data from App Health Care and is updated each Friday.
Data is provided for outbreaks and clusters that are active and ongoing. The number of cases are current at the release of this report. As we conduct outbreak investigations, the numbers included in this report are subject to change
An outbreak is defined as two or more laboratory confirmed cases. A cluster is defined as a minimum of five cases with illness onsets or initial positive results within a 14-day period and plausible epidemiologic linkage between cases. An outbreak or cluster is considered over if 28 days have passed after the latest date of symptom onset in a symptomatic person or first date of specimen collection from the most recent asymptomatic person, whichever is later.
These data come from AppHealthCare district health department and reflect the cumulative positive confirmed cases at Appalachian State University. The “Employees” category includes both faculty and staff. The “Subcontractors” category indicates individuals working on campus construction projects who are employed by private construction companies, rather than the university.
