Hurricane Helene: Public Health Department Closures

Latest updates: Hurricane Helene

Our public health departments' hours of operation may be affected by power and staffing outages. This means that some closures may not appear on the state government office delays and closings map. The health and safety of our employees and our clients remains our highest priority. We are working to get services restored as safely and quickly as possible.

Healthcare Professionals

Healthcare professionals are patients’ and parents’ most-trusted source of information about COVID-19 vaccines.

We encourage healthcare professionals of all practices to talk with their patients about the vaccines, to listen to their concerns and answer questions by providing factual information. Whether you have these discussions with your patients during an in-person office visit, through e-mail messages on your patient portal, or during consultation in your pharmacy, your strong COVID-19 vaccine recommendation matters. DHEC provides posters, flyers, and signage available in different sizes, fact sheets and other materials, in English and Spanish, online here for helping promote the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in all healthcare facilities.
