• Bennettsville Center (999 Cheraw Street)
• Bishopville Center (545 Sumter Highway)
• Cheraw Center (715 S. Doctors Drive Suite E)
• Chesterfield Center (204 Perry Wiley Way)
• Hartsville Center (1268 S. Fourth Street)
• Latta Center (122 Latimer Street)
• McColl Health & Wellness Center (3080 Highway 15-401 E)

“We have a lot to be proud of and, at the same time, it’s fair to say we have a lot more work to do,” said Dr. Brannon Traxler, DHEC Public Health Director. “For the past 17 months, I’ve been part of our state’s COVID-19 response, and it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come in such a short amount of time to overcome this devastating disease. I’ve watched South Carolinians care for each other and come together in ways rarely seen before. Now is the time for us all to band together once more and end this pandemic by encouraging our unvaccinated neighbors to get their shots.”

COVID-19 Vaccines are effective in preventing COVID-19 disease, especially severe illness and death. COVID-19 Vaccines reduce the risk of people spreading COVID-19.
