La Red COVID-19 vaccination events continue June 12
La Red Health Center is offering several community COVID-19 vaccination events throughout June.
The public health emergency surrounding COVID-19 ended in May, but COVID-19 continues to circulate in Delaware and the rest of the nation.
One of the best ways to protect oneself and loved ones against serious illness and hospitalization from COVID-19 complications is to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone 6 years and older should get an updated Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine regardless of whether they received the original COVID-19 vaccines.
According to the CDC, not many Delawareans have received an updated vaccine, and just 25% of Sussex County residents received an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
“Now is the best time to get up to date on your COVID-19 vaccinations before the peak summer travel season starts,” said Brian Olson, La Red Health Center CEO. “Don’t let COVID-19 derail your summer plans.”
To check the DelVax Public Portal for a listing of their vaccinations, individuals can go to delvax.dhss.delaware.gov.
