The Forsyth County Department of Public Health is now accepting COVID-19 vaccination appointments for children younger than 5 years-old that will start on Wednesday afternoon.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has raised its COVID-19 Community Level for Forsyth County to High, and recommends wearing a well-fitted mask indoors in public, regardless of vaccination status. Respirator and surgical masks offer the most protection.
Forsyth Public Health will begin giving Pfizer COVID-19 booster shots for ages 5-11 beginning on Monday, May 23, if it’s been five months since the child’s second shot.
COVID-19 test kits continue to be available at Forsyth County Department of Public Health and at Forsyth County Public Libraries.
