*For those individuals who may have received the Moderna vaccine series or the Johnson and Johnson shot, please know that approval for a booster must be made by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the Center for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC), and the NC Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) before it can be made available to the citizens in our state. Please continue to monitor our Facebook page, our website, and our local media outlets for any updates on this process.
