Press Release:

    Today the FDA and CDC have recommended halting the administration of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine.

    More than 6.8 million doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the US and there were 6 reported cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the J&J vaccine. All 6 cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination.

    The CDC will convene a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on Wednesday April 14th. This meeting will further review these cases and assess their potential significance. The FDA will then review that analysis and make appropriate recommendations.

    Beaufort County Health Department will not be administering J&J vaccines until this review is complete. We will continue to monitor this process and update the public continuously.

    If you have any concerns, please contact your primary doctor.

    Please continue to monitor HERE for updated information regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.

Government and its bureaucracy are not perfect, and never has been in this self-governed society, here at the local level, at our state level, and at our federal level, therefore, it is incumbent upon all elected politicians to seek a comfortable level of representation for our constituents.
Beaufort County is implementing a new emergency alert system. All residents are encouraged to sign up to receive alerts via phone and email.

Has the local government acted responsibly and transparently?
Beaufort County Commissioners meet, and work by a majority vote to do the business of those constituents they purport to represent.
Waste, fraud, abuse and incompetence continue to govern county school budgets and decision making.

However, if one believes that Beaufort County government is in full command of the issues of our times, here locally, one might need to steel their resolve for a more perfect understanding of the intellect possessed by the Center-Left /Left Coalition.
To borrow a big phrase from this salient plan originating at the federal level, under President Trump's watchful eye, whose time has finally arrived, even here in the mispent realm of Beaufort County government(s).
We must vet, and elect those who will actually represent the people or we will be stuck with the same mess we have now.
