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.

  • DPH has no role in an employer’s decision to require vaccinations. 
  • South Carolina law only allows medical or religious exemptions to vaccine requirements for day care and school-aged children. That policy can be found here.
