Take Control is a statewide initiative to encourage North Carolinians to stay up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines. Two-thirds of North Carolinians are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19 due to chronic health conditions like high blood pressure, obesity and smoking. Staying up to date on vaccinations can help save lives and significantly reduce the likelihood of severe illness, hospitalization & long-term complications. If your last COVID-19 vaccine was before September 2022, you’re due for an updated dose.
Take Control materials are now available online in English and Spanish for anyone to use in their communities to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. We invite you to share the below resources with the people you serve.

The flu is a contagious respiratory virus that can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Those at high risk for serious flu complications include older people, young children, pregnant women, people with certain health conditions or compromised immune systems. Some of those same groups are also at high risk of complications from COVID-19.
During October through May, NCDHHS’ Division of Public Health provides weekly updates on the spread of respiratory diseases, including influenza and COVID-19, in North Carolina.
Doctors recommend that everyone ages 6 months and older get their annual flu shot. Flu vaccines are available at little to no cost at providers across the state.
