COVID-19 Resources

We are working diligently to keep our COVID-19 resources as up to date as possible by adding informative resources as they become available.

Faith Leaders,

The Guidance for Place of Worship and Religious Services has been updated. Click HERE to learn more.

There is a new Vaccination at Home program available to your congregation!
In an effort to reach those individuals who may have difficulty leaving their home to receive a vaccine, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, in partnership with the Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging, has set up a call-in number and web form through which anyone can request that medical personnel come to their home to provide a COVID vaccination. That phone number is 1-866-303-0026, and the web form is here. Requests will be answered within 3 business days.

Please inform your Care Ministry staff so they can share this information with any individuals that may have difficulty accessing a vaccine.

Some people may not feel ready to receive the vaccine at this time. Additional resources for answering questions they might have are below:

  • Piedmont Triad Regional Council FAQs about the program
  • Top 10 list– some key pieces of information about the COVID vaccines
  • Vaccine FAQs– frequently asked questions and answers
  • Vaccine 101– longer presentation with more comprehensive information

Questions regarding specific medical considerations should be asked of a healthcare professional.

For more information please contact Patrick Brown (patrick.brown@dhhs.nc.gov), Adrienne Calhoun (acalhoun@ptrc.org), or Rebecca Freeman (rebecca.freeman@dhhs.nc.gov).
