The South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) is pleased to announce the addition of the S.C. Certificate of Immunization (DPH Form 4024) to the Statewide Immunization Online Network (SIMON).

Starting Aug. 1, 2025, parents and legal guardians will be able to obtain their child’s official DPH Form 4024 online from the SIMON portal. The addition of the official DPH Form 4024 to the portal will help parents of children from 5K-12th grade save time and quickly provide the needed vaccination certificate to their child’s school for children who are up to date with their vaccines. Previously, parents/guardians had to get the certificate either from their provider or their local public health department.

Hot cars are deadly. Make a habit of checking before you exit. Also, don’t allow children to play in and around vehicles. ❤️

This summer is starting out HOT, so here's a quick reminder to never leave kids —or pets — alone in the car, even for quick stops.

Especially in this heat, vehicle interiors heat up fast, reaching deadly temperatures in minutes.

Always LOOK before you LOCK and keep your children and pets safe this summer!
