COVID-19 infections continue to rise in South Carolina. Currently South Carolina's daily hospital admissions average is 59 people per day. People with disabilities are considered a high-risk group for severe sickness and death caused by COVID-19. Receiving a vaccination against COVID-19 is one of the best ways to protect yourself and those around you from the virus. COVID-19 vaccines work well to prevent severe sickness, keep you out of the hospital, and avoid death. Getting your COVID-19 vaccine can also help keep you safe from Long COVID. Even if you’ve previously had a COVID-19 infection or shot, receiving the 2023-2024 updated vaccine for ongoing protection against the illness is important. Do not let fear of a cost prevent you from receiving your COVID-19 vaccination. The COVID-19 vaccinations will remain available free of charge to people who have insurance. The Bridge Access Program launched by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control will keep vaccines free for adults 18+ who are under-insured or without insurance through December 2024. Children whose parents or guardians cannot afford the cost of vaccines can be covered under the Vaccines for Children Program. | |
