Coronavirus - What You Need to Know

At Wake Forest Baptist, we are taking proactive measures to help control the spread of the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus).

    Vaccinating Patients 75 and Older

    We are currently providing COVID-19 vaccines for current Wake Forest Baptist patients who are age 75 and older. We are focusing first on those who are most frail and at highest risk for complications from COVID-19 disease. 

    We are fortunate to have a data tool that helps us predict how frail or at risk our patients are, and we are using this tool to invite eligible patients by phone to schedule an appointment. Vaccinations are by appointment only, and no walk-ins are accepted.

    Area Health Systems Stand Together Against Pandemic

    Wake Forest Baptist Health, Cone Health and Novant Health media campaign asks community to "choose courage" against COVID-19.

    Is it COVID-19, the Flu or a Cold?

    Many COVID-19 and Influenza symptoms are similar. Testing is the only way to determine the right diagnosis.

    *According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 symptoms are similar in children and adults, and symptoms can cover a wide range, from mild to severe. This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19.
    **Not everyone with the flu will have a fever.
    ***If you have this symptom, seek medical care immediately.
