La Red Health Center plans public vaccination events starting Monday

GEORGETOWN, Del. – The La Red Health Center is holding several upcoming Covid-19 vaccination events this June. The first event will be held Monday at the Selbyville Public Library.

Health officials say even though the public health emergency ended in May, the coronavirus continues to circulate around Delaware and the rest of the nation.

“Now is the best time to get up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccinations before the peak summer travel season starts, said Brian Olson, La Red Health Center CEO. “Don’t let COVID-19 derail your summer plans.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone six years and older should get an updated Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine regardless of whether they received the original COVID-19 vaccines. According to the CDC, only 25% of Sussex County residents received an updated COVID-19 vaccine. In Kent County, the percentage was less at 14.2%.
