SUSSEX COUNTY, Del.- The Delaware Division of Public Health is bringing its Community Health Services Mobile Unit to various locations in Sussex County this week, offering free testing, vaccinations and health resources.
The wheelchair-accessible unit will provide HIV testing with counseling and referral, COVID-19 testing, COVID-19 vaccinations, flu shots and connections to community and clinical resources. That is according to the Delaware Division of Public Health.
The agency states that no appointment is necessary, and walk-ins are welcome. Vaccinations and testing require consent from patients or guardians.
