Vax Up for Flu and COVID-19! |

Remember: The most important step in protecting you and your family from COVID-19 and the flu virus is to get vaccinated! These vaccines can be given at the same time, and both help to reduce severe illness, hospitalization and death. Consult your health care provider if you have questions or concerns. In an Oct. 27 press release, Gov. Roy Cooper and NCDHHS Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen shared that North Carolina’s COVID-19 numbers have continued to steadily improve due to North Carolinians choosing to get vaccinated and follow safety protocols. They also encouraged everyone who is eligible to get a COVID-19 booster. Where can I get a flu and/or COVID-19 vaccine?
