NCDHHS Livestream Fireside Chat and Tele-Town Hall Defend Yourself: Reduce Your Risk of Respiratory Illnesses

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services will host a live fireside chat and tele-town hall to discuss ways to defend your family from respiratory illness; who should get updated flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines; and how to find testing and treatment. Dr. Kelly Kimple, Director of the Division of Public Health, State Health Officer and Chief Medical Officer for Public Health at NCDHHS, will moderate the event. The panel will also feature additional experts who will provide resources and guidance for families.

NCDHHS' Vaccines for Seasonal Respiratory Illnesses webpage provides information on flu, COVID-19 and RSV, including guidance on who is eligible for vaccines and how to find a health care provider. Individuals who are uninsured or underinsured can also learn about getting help paying for vaccines, including ones that are low or no-cost.
