​Know Before You Go to Seasonal Gatherings: NCDHHS Livestream Cafecito and Tele-Town Hall 

NCDHHS transmitirá una conversación en vivo y en español para proporcionar información sobre cómo cuidarse antes de ir a reuniones familiares y de temporada

Picture
​RALEIGH — The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services will host a live Spanish-language Cafecito and tele-town hall on Tuesday, Nov. 1, from 6 to 7 p.m., to discuss updated COVID-19 boosters for everyone ages 5 and up, testing and treatments, flu vaccines and what North Carolinians need to know before they go to seasonal gatherings.  
As winter begins and people spend more time gathering indoors with friends and family, it’s important for everyone to stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccines and boosters to help protect against serious illness, hospitalization, death and long-term complications from the virus.  
Seasonal illnesses, like the flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), are also circulating widely and increasingly in North Carolina and the country. Flu shots are available to everyone ages 6 months and up. Families are encouraged to take precautions and limit close contact with people who are sick to help prevent the spread of seasonal illness. 
An updated COVID-19 booster is now available for everyone ages 5 and older to protect against COVID-19 variants. The updated booster is also known as ‘bivalent’ for its ability to provide the most up-to-date protection against severe illness, hospitalization and death from the original COVID-19 strain as well as variants. Everyone ages 5 and up can get the updated COVID-19 booster two months after they finish their primary series or any booster dose and may be able to get the updated COVID-19 booster at the same time as other routine vaccines, such as an annual flu shot.   
Topics will include the following:  
  • Updated COVID-19 boosters for everyone ages 5 and older 
  • COVID-19 testing and treatments 
  • Seasonal illness prevention: flu and RSV 
  • How to prepare for winter gatherings 
The event will be moderated by Paola Jaramillo, a social communicator, journalist, entrepreneur and co-founder and executive director for Enlace Latino NC. Participants include Dr. Gabriela M. Maradiaga Panayotti, associate professor of pediatrics for Duke University Medical Center; Sheila Arias, North Carolina campaign director for MomsRising; and Yazmin Garcia Rico, MSW, Director of Latinx and Hispanic Policy and Strategy for NCDHHS. 
The Cafecito will stream live from the NCDHHS social media accounts, where viewers can submit questions. The event also includes a tele-town hall, which invites people by phone to listen in and submit questions. People can also dial into the event by calling (855)-756-7520 Ext. 87983#. 
NCDHHS Cafecito's and tele-town halls are part of the state’s ongoing public efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, ensure equitable access to timely information, resources and COVID-19 vaccines and prepare communities to protect against seasonal illness. 
The NCDHHS social media platforms will host the livestream on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Visit the channel of your choice to watch the event, which will begin streaming at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1.  
El Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de Carolina del Norte (NCDHHS, por sus siglas en inglés) presentará un Cafecito, una conversación virtual en vivo y en español el martes, 1 de noviembre, de 6 a 7 p.m. para hablar sobre las dosis de refuerzo actualizadas contra el COVID-19 para todas las personas de 5 años en adelante, las pruebas y los tratamientos, las vacunas contra la gripe y para informar sobre lo que las personas deben saber antes de ir a reuniones familiares. 
A medida que comienza el invierno y las personas pasan más tiempo reunidas en espacios interiores con sus seres queridos, es importante que todos se mantengan al día con las vacunas y las dosis de refuerzo contra el COVID-19 para ayudar a protegerse contra enfermedades graves, hospitalización, muerte y complicaciones a largo plazo a causa del virus. 
Las enfermedades estacionales, como la gripe y el virus respiratorio sincitial (RSV), también están circulando ampliamente y cada vez se incrementan más en Carolina del Norte y el país. Las vacunas contra la gripe están disponibles para todas las personas de 6 meses de edad en adelante. Se motiva a las familias a tomar precauciones y limitar el contacto cercano con personas enfermas para ayudar a prevenir la propagación de enfermedades estacionales. 
La dosis de refuerzo actualizada contra el COVID-19 ya está disponible para todas las personas de 5 años en adelante para proteger contra variantes del COVID-19. La dosis de refuerzo actualizada se conoce como bivalente por su capacidad para brindar la protección más actualizada contra enfermedades graves, hospitalización y muerte por la cepa original del COVID-19, así como variantes del virus. Todas las personas de 5 años en adelante pueden recibir la dosis de refuerzo actualizada contra el COVID-19 dos meses después de terminar su serie inicial de vacunación o de recibir cualquier dosis de refuerzo. Se puede recibir la dosis de refuerzo actualizada contra el COVID-19 actualizado al mismo tiempo que otras vacunas de rutina, como la vacuna anual contra la gripe. 
Los temas del Cafecito incluirán:  
  • las dosis de refuerzo actualizadas contra el COVID-19 para todas las personas de 5 años en adelante 
  • pruebas y tratamientos de COVID-19 
  • prevención de enfermedades estacionales, como la gripe y RSV 
  • cómo prepararse para las reuniones de invierno 
El evento será moderado por Paola Jaramillo, comunicadora social, periodista, emprendedora y cofundadora y directora ejecutiva de Enlace Latino NC. Las participantes incluyen a la Dra. Gabriela M. Maradiaga Panayotti, profesora asociada de pediatría en el Centro Médico de la Universidad de Duke, Sheila Arias, directora de campaña de Carolina del Norte para MamásConPoder, y Yazmin García Rico, MSW, directora de Política y Estrategia Hispana / Latina de NCDHHS.  
El Cafecito se transmitirá en vivo desde las cuentas de redes sociales de NCDHHS, donde los espectadores pueden enviar preguntas. El evento incluirá una función de telecomunicación, que invita a que las personas puedan escuchar y enviar preguntas por teléfono para ayudar a garantizar que todos puedan participar. Las personas también pueden acceder al evento llamando al (855) 756-7520, Ext. 87983#.     
Los Cafecitos son parte del compromiso del estado para frenar la propagación de COVID-19, garantizar el acceso equitativo a información oportuna, recursos y vacunas contra el COVID-19, y preparar a las comunidades para protegerse contra enfermedades estacionales.  
Las plataformas de redes sociales del NCDHHS compartirán la transmisión en vivo por: Facebook, Twitter y YouTube. Para unirse al Cafecito, haga clic en uno de los enlaces compartidos arriba a las 6:00 p.m. el martes 1 de noviembre
