Demonstrations|SIMON

In preparation for the implementation of South Carolina’s new Statewide Immunization Online Network (SIMON), DHEC’s Division of Immunizations hosted “Introduction to SIMON” presentations around the state. Our vendor partner, Envision, brought its training team to provide demonstrations of the features and functions of the new Immunization Information System. This presentation is available below. 

Rabies Vaccination Clinics

State law requires all pet owners to vaccinate their dogs, cats, and ferrets. You can also vaccinate livestock such as horses, cows, and sheep. 

Keeping your pets and livestock up to date on their rabies vaccinations is one of the easiest and most effective ways you can protect yourself, your family, and your pets from this fatal disease. Information on year-round low-cost ($10 or less) rabies clinics and mobile rabies clinics can be found at the links below or contact your local veterinarian to make an appointment to get your pet vaccinated.

Hepatitis A Vaccine - Provider Webinars

In an effort to control the hepatitis A outbreak in South Carolina, DPH is seeking partnerships with county emergency management services, emergency departments at select hospitals and others to help vaccinate people in high-risk groups. Those high-risk groups include people who use injection or non-injection drugs, people who are homeless, people who are or recently were incarcerated, and men who have sex with men. These webinars have been produced to educate and inform potential DPH partners about the outbreak, what they can do to help, and how to get involved.

Community Impact of Commercial Tobacco

Everyone deserves a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. Commercial tobacco products negatively impact communities and cause health disparities. Commercial tobacco products are products sold in retail outlets and are different from the traditional tobacco that is used by Tribal communities for sacred, spiritual, or medicinal purposes. Learn more about traditional tobacco from the National Native Network.
