FREE COVID HOME TESTS
The Federal Government is providing free COVID test kits for households.
To receive your four (4) test kits fill out the form here.
Did you know test kits that you purchase at a pharmacy may be eligible for reimbursement through your healthcare insurance? That means you can get back the money you spent on the test kits. For more information reach out to your insurance provider and save the receipts of purchase.
COVID VACCINATION INFORMATION
Vaccines and booster shots are currently open to anyone above the age of 5 years old.
Please head to the Blue Ridge Health District website for information about vaccines in our area!
We are encouraging everyone to sign up for their newsletter or to visit their website for the latest information. We recognize not everyone has internet access or may not be tech savvy, so the hotline is open for individuals to call who are over 75+ that want to be on our list for vaccines or ask any COVID questions. Hotline # is 434-972-6261.
