Key Messages

  1. VACCINATE and BOOST
  2. Wear a WELL-FITTING MASK
  3. TEST EARLY for COVID-19 if any symptoms

The pandemic and what we know about COVID-19 prevention, vaccination and treatment continue to change. The best that outreach workers and farmworkers can do is protect themselves and each other.

1. VACCINATE and BOOST

Make sure you are up-to-date with your vaccines. You are up-to-date after a full initial series and a booster.

Visit NC DHHS to keep up on the latest guidance about booster eligibility.

  • Download NCFHP’s COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster Guide for Providers and Educators that provides vaccine and booster recommendations based on prior vaccine history, including vaccines recevied in Mexico. It’s also available in Spanish.
  • Sign up for our newsletter to stay up-to-date with the latest recommendations.

2. Wear a WELL-FITTING MASK

Given new and highly contagious variants, a high-quality mask (N95 or KN95) protects better than other masks. If you do not have access to an N95 or KN95, a surgical mask with a cloth mask over it is an excellent option. Download social media images about choosing the right mask for you.

Order personal protective equipment (PPE) from DHHS.

3. TEST EARLY for COVID-19 if any symptoms.

Early testing leads to early treatment and reduced exposure for others.

Order self-tests from NC DHHS

Type of test: Quidel QuickVue At-Home
Est. time from order to arrival: ~1 month
Requirements: Submit weekly inventory updates to NCFHP (# of tests remaining)
