Changes to Summer Card program and 2^nd Dose COVID Vaccination Clinic Friday at East Rowan High School

Due to limited supply, Summer Cards will only be offered through Rowan County Public Health at the Rowan County Health Department site. The Summer Card program ends on August 31^st and is while supplies last.
