We have a lot of questions every year regarding the RSV vaccine. Here is a chart published by the CDC that helps categorize the age groups in which the RSV vaccine is intended for. Also please note at this time the RSV vaccine IS NOT an annual vaccine/immunization.

Check out this great event happening soon!

Help us stock the shelves so that none of our neighbors in Mitchell Co. are hungry!
We're excited to host a weeklong food drive along with Mitchell County Health Department to benefit our local food pantry 🍽 Drop-off locations, goodies for donors (!!!), and more info is to come.

In the meantime, here are the most needed food items at our local food pantry:
Pasta
Fruit Juice
Toilet Paper
Jelly
Pancake Mix
Detergent
Mac & Cheese
Jiffy Muffin Mix
Rice

These are most needed items, but it goes without saying that anything helps. From September 15th-19th, we want to collect as much food as possible to show our food pantry some love. Mark your calendars and help stock the shelves ❤️
