DHEC offering $5 million in grant money to help with local vaccine outreach

DHEC anticipates awarding up to 25 grants totaling up to $5,000,000 for six months.

“We have said many times that DHEC can’t end this pandemic alone,” said Dr. Traxler. “We need state and local officials, teachers and educators, faith and other community leaders, and the business community to be COVID-19 ambassadors. We are excited about the hyperlocal connections these organizations will make with people in their communities through this new federally supported vaccine effort as we continue to focus on saving lives and protecting all South Carolinians.” Learn more about how to help South Carolina increase our Covid vaccination numbers.
