Vaccination

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has announced all children and adults (age 5 and up) are eligible to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

Stay Up to Date with Your Vaccines

CDC recommends that people remain up to date with their vaccines, which includes additional doses for individuals who are immunocompromised or booster doses at regular time points. Individuals who are moderately or severely immunocompromised should get an additional primary shot and a booster shot.

Visit the CDC website to learn more about which vaccines you need to stay up to date.

Vaccines are free to everyone. No insurance or ID cards are required.

Some Medicaid Prepaid Health Plans offer monetary incentives for members who receive their COVID-19 vaccines.

A North Carolina State law changed on August 20, 2021 that now requires health care providers to obtain written consent from a parent or legal guardian of a minor prior to administration of any vaccine that that has been granted emergency use authorization and is not yet fully approved by the FDA to an individual under 18 years of age.

Once a vaccine has full FDA approval, pre-existing minor consent laws apply to consent to vaccination.

Booster Doses and Additional Doses for Immunocompromised Individuals

To strengthen and extend protections against COVID-19, boosters are now available to all North Carolinians 12 and older. Although we don’t have all the answers on the Omicron variant, initial data suggests that COVID-19 boosters help broaden and strengthen the protection against Omicron and other variants. 

You are eligible for a booster if: 

• You are 12 or older (Pfizer)*, or 18 or older (Pfizer, Moderna, J&J)
• You received your second/final dose of the Pfizer vaccines more than FIVE months ago, or
• You received your second/final dose of the Moderna vaccines more than FIVE months ago, or
• You received your Johnson & Johnson vaccine more than TWO months ago

* At this time, only the Pfizer vaccine is authorized and recommended for adolescents aged 12-17.

Adults 18 and older may receive any brand of COVID-19 vaccine for your booster shot. However, it is recommended that people get boosted with a mRNA vaccine – Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech, instead of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, unless they have a medical reason as to why they cannot receive an mRNA vaccine. Speak with a doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you have questions about what booster is right for you.

Immunocompromised Individuals
People who are immunocompromised are especially vulnerable to COVID-19. Everyone, including immunocompromised people, should receive a COVID-19 vaccine primary series if they are 5 years and older as soon as possible.

After completing the primary series, some moderately or severely immunocompromised people should get an additional primary shot and a booster shot.

Treatment of COVID-19

Treatment is available, but even with newly authorized treatments, there is very limited availability. Treatment of COVID-19 is not a substitute for vaccinations. Treatments may decrease the risk of severe disease, hospitalization and death but they will not prevent infection.

If you’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19 recently and are at high risk for severe disease because you are unvaccinated or immunocompromised, talk to your doctor about treatment or call 1-877-332-6585 (English) or 1-877-366-0310 (Spanish).

Visit the NC DHHS website for more information. Treatment options currently authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA include Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) and antiviral pills for treatment of COVID-19.
