For the October Public Health Report the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) led off with a proclamation for Mental Health Week. Dr. Allison Berry talked about vaccines and the scarcity of COVID vaccines for children, RSV is pretty rare at the moment. The latest COVID and Flu vaccines are available for adults and recommended, especially for those over 65. Willie Bence mentioned that the Great Shakeout is on October 16 (10/16 at 10:16 am) and he reminded us to DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON! at that time; pull over and stay in your car at that moment as well. We can build “muscle memory” so if an earthquake occurs we will know what to do and not panic. Also, the 4th Annual Fire & Rescue Fest is at the EJFR fire house on Lawrence Street is Saturday, October 15 from 10am to 2pm.
