Let’s Protect Berkeley County

We are proud to be one of only five agencies in the country selected by the National Community Action Partnership to create and host our own vaccine equity project.

Our aim is to reduce vaccine-preventable disease among adults and empower individuals living in Berkeley County to make informed choices about their health. Together with our partners, and with community members like you, we know we’ll reach our goal of creating a healthier Berkeley County.

Did you know? All adults need immunizations to help them prevent getting and spreading serious diseases that could result in poor health, missed work, medical bills, and not being able to care for family.

Earn rewards just for catching up on your vaccinations!
