Additional Dose FAQs The Department of Health is pleased that the FDA and CDC are taking steps to ensure individuals who are immunocompromised have the opportunity to receive another layer of protection against COVID-19. 

It is no secret that we have been inundated with public health information from many sources over the past year and a half.

It can certainly feel overwhelming at times; especially during the pandemic.

That said, there is no better time than now to discuss the best ways to sift through and read health related headlines.

Hey Philly! To put it plainly vaccines are safe and highly effective against serious illness and hospitalization with COVID-19. We are right to be concerned as the delta variant spreads, but ongoing studies and real world data being collected are showing promising results as we enter this phase of the pandemic.

To protect our community getting a vaccine is still the best line of defense.

C a Difference / Hepatitis C C a Difference is a comprehensive hepatitis C (HCV) testing and linkage-to-care program at Philadelphia FIGHT housed at the John Bell Health Center.

There is so much concern to be had right now as we enter a new phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, let us remember that many of the vaccines are safe and highly effective even against COVID-19, even the Delta variant. Here are some things to know.

5 Things To Know About the Delta Variant Delta is a highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus strain that was first identified in India, and is now circulating in the United States and other countries. The vaccines have proven to be highly effective against Delta, but anyone who is unvaccinated is at risk for infection by the new variant.
