Strengthening Our Shield

The Regional Landscape

Onslow County faces a critical gap in community health. Current data shows that only 84.23% of kindergarteners are up-to-date on required vaccinations (up .03% from 2024), falling significantly short of the 95% threshold needed for herd immunity. With a religious exemption rate of 4.37% (down .03% from 2024) and a high-mobility population, reaching our 5+ VFC providers is essential to protecting our schools and families from preventable outbreaks.
