Our office is very grateful to have been eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine through the NC Public Health Department starting in December 2020.  Though our staff's individual vaccination status is a part of their protected health information through HIPAA, we feel comfortable reassuring patients that the vast majority of our team is immunized.  Between our vaccine and our stringent infection control protocols, our office continues to keep our patient and staff safe during the pandemic!
