Treatment of COVID-19

IF YOU’RE SICK WITH COVID, SEEK TREATMENT QUICKLY. Treatments should be administered as soon as you start feeling sick and can only be prescribed by a medical professional. Get tested and treated in one visit at a comprehensive Test to Treat site, even if you do not have insurance. You may incur charges for testing and evaluation. Treatment for COVID-19 is not a substitute for vaccinations. Treatments may reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death, but they will not prevent infection.

Patient assistance programs are available to help lower the cost of COVID-19 treatments, even if you don't have insurance.

Visit the NC DHHS website for more information. Treatment options currently authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA include Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs) and antiviral pills for treatment of COVID-19.

Lost your CDC Vaccination Card?

If you need a copy of your vaccination record, please contact our Medical Records Department at 910-433-3857.

The United States no longer distributes the white CDC COVID-19 vaccination cards that were common earlier in the pandemic. If you still have one of these white vaccination cards, keep it for your records. 

You do not need your vaccination information, such as the white vaccination cards, in order to receive an updated vaccine.

Differences Between COVID-19, Flu and RSV

Information from the CDC on the differences between flu and COVID-19.

There are several key differences between the flu and COVID-19. COVID-19 appears to spread more easily than the flu. However, as more people become fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 should decrease. COVID-19 can cause more severe illnesses in certain individuals. It can also take longer for symptoms to appear and people can remain contagious for a longer period of time. The most effective way to prevent infection is to avoid exposure to the virus.

Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be difficult to distinguish between them based on symptoms alone. Testing may be necessary to confirm a diagnosis. While flu and COVID-19 have many similarities, there are also some important differences. To learn more about the distinctions between COVID-19 and the flu, visit the CDC.
