Today is International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, a reminder of how important it is to be ready before an emergency happens, and that’s exactly what this training was about! 💪💉

Back in November, NNPH’s Public Health Preparedness staff practiced a large-scale vaccination response during a community flu vaccine event organized by NNPH’s Immunization team. Exercises like this are an essential part of public health and it showcase how different areas of public health work together to protect our community when it matters most.

This holiday season, the spirit of giving truly shined 💙

Thanks to 45 NNPH employees who contributed to the event and a total of 40 volunteer hours, we were able to help 15 people make their Christmas a little brighter.

A total of $2,200 was donated, providing 125 hygiene and cleaning items, 113 wrapped gifts, and even fulfilling a special request for a dresser. Each family also received a $150 WinCo gift card to help meet everyday needs.

We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity, teamwork, and heart that made this possible. ✨

Measles can be serious. It can cause complications like pneumonia (infection of the lungs) and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). Symptoms include:
o High fever
o Rash
o Cough
o Red and/or watery eyes
o Runny nose

Talk to your doctor about vaccination before traveling for the holidays! Learn more: https://www.cdc.gov/measles/plan-for-travel.html

Parents: as you get ready for holiday travel, make sure you and your loved ones are protected against measles before departure, no matter where you are going.

The best way to protect against measles is with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The decision to vaccinate is a personal one. Individuals should speak to their healthcare provider on the risks and benefits before receiving a vaccine.

Flavored vapes aren’t gifts, they’re traps. Don’t let candy-cane and mint flavors disguise the harm.
