Vaccination is Your Best Protection as COVID Metrics Increase Due to the Delta Variant

North Carolina is experiencing a rapid increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations among those who are unvaccinated due to the more infectious Delta variant.

It is critical that unvaccinated and partially vaccinated people get fully vaccinated to reduce the risk of COVID-19 and its more severe outcomes. The COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States continue to be remarkably effective. Nearly all cases of severe disease, hospitalization and death continue to occur among those not fully vaccinated.

We need to layer up our protection to fight this more contagious Delta variant and weather the storm: Vax up, mask up and urge others to do the same.
