    Pediatric COVID-19 vaccinations underway in Chippewa County

    CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WEAU) – Angela Weideman, Director and Health Official at the Chippewa County Department of Public Health, is providing an update on COVID-19 cases, vaccines, and testing during the health department’s COVID-19 situation report on Thursday. You can watch it here.

    Of the 316 active COVID-19 cases, 25.6{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} are children (81), including 23.1{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} of all cases being school-aged children ages 4 to 18. 17 people are currently hospitalized in Chippewa County with COVID-19. More metrics are available on the Chippewa County COVID-19 data dashboard. The Chippewa County COVID-19 dashboard was experiencing technical difficulties during the update Thursday morning, but a full accounting of the metrics that were scheduled to be shared are below (updated Thursday afternoon).

    Chippewa County’s COVID-19 caseload and spread places the county in the severe risk category for COVID-19, which means the recommendation from the county’s health department is to limit indoor gatherings to less than 15 people and outdoor gatherings to less than 50 people with physical distancing. Masks are also recommended indoors, including at K-12 schools. As of Wednesday, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services says that Chippewa County is experiencing very high COVID-19 case activity with a case burden of over 781 cases per 100,000 residents. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has Chippewa County in the highest category for COVID-19 transmission, high, along with nearly every other county in Wisconsin.

    In Chippewa County, 34,560 residents have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, or 53.5{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c}, as of Nov. 5. 33,271 residents, or 51.5{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c}, have completed their vaccination series. 255 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered to Chippewa County residents the last full week reporting numbers were available, Oct. 24. 86.4{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} of Chippewa County residents ages 65 and over are fully-vaccinated.

    Weideman shared that pediatric vaccinations “are doing well” based on feedback from community partners. Statewide and Chippewa County data dashboards were down Thursday morning, so Weideman was unable to provide exact numbers. No community clinics are planned for children ages 5 to 11 since the county does not provide the Pfizer vaccine. However, community partners are providing the Pfizer vaccine, and Weideman said that because the Pfizer vaccine is being provided in the county already, the health department doesn’t need to add it to their offerings for vaccines.

    A community testing site for COVID-19 is available at Jacob’s Well Church at 3211 North 50th Ave. in Lake Hallie. The site offers drive-thru PCR tests and is open on Mondays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. To register online, visit the COVID Connect website. Registration is also available on-site.

    Chippewa County holds weekly COVID-19 vaccination clinics at the court house on Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. This clinic offers both the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, which are currently authorized for emergency use for people ages 18 and over. The Pfizer vaccine is not offered by the Chippewa County DPH at its clinics. If an individual wants to receive the Pfizer vaccine, which is also authorized for emergency use for people ages 12 to 15 and fully approved for people ages 16 and over, they can call the Chippewa County Department of Public Health at 715-492-3096 or visit the DPH’s COVID-19 Response Hub to find other vaccinators in the county in order to find a Pfizer vaccine. Anyone under the age of 18 will need parental consent to schedule and receive a vaccine.

    For parents looking for pediatric COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 5 to 11, they are urged to contact their health care provider.

    CDC data dashboards are available on the CDC data tracker website. The DHS also has a COVID-19 data dashboard for Wisconsin on their website. More COVID-19 information for Chippewa County can be found on the CCDPH website.

    Due to data issues Thursday morning, information about cases, deaths, hospitalizations and vaccines wasn’t able to be shared during the live update. Those figures are below.

  • ERIE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH PROVIDES COVID-19 DATA UPDATE FOR WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 6, 2021

    ERIE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH PROVIDES COVID-19 DATA UPDATE FOR WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 6, 2021

    ERIE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH PROVIDES COVID-19 DATA UPDATE FOR WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 6, 2021

    ERIE COUNTY, NY – The Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) is providing an update on COVID-19 data. For the week ending November 6, 2021, ECDOH received reports for 2,690 new COVID-19 cases among Erie County residents, a 22{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} increase from the previous week. Over the past two weeks, COVID-19 cases have increased 54{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c}. Erie County’s COVID-19 case rate of 282 cases per 100,000 residents in the past seven days for the week ending November 6 is an increase from the previous week’s case rate of 232. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) set a case rate threshold of 100 or more cases per 100,000 residents in the past seven days for a community to be considered to have “high transmission.”

    29.5{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} of new COVID-19 cases last week were among city of Buffalo residents. For reference, city of Buffalo residents make up 29{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} of all Erie County residents. This past week the ZIP codes with the highest seven-day case rates per 100,000 persons were: 14032 (Clarence Center, 39 cases), 14004 (Akron, 44 cases), 14031 (Clarence, 42 cases), 14043 (Depew, 103 cases) and 14068 (Amherst/Getzville, 27 cases).

    About 46,000 COVID-19 test reports were received last week, on par with the previous week’s total. ECDOH and health care providers within Erie County still have substantial diagnostic testing capacity. People who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, regardless of vaccination status, should strongly consider a diagnostic COVID-19 test. The New York State Department of Health maintains a list of testing locations. ECDOH created a list of community COVID-19 testing resources for parents and caregivers. Free COVID-19 NAAT tests are available through ECDOH by calling 716-858-2929 to schedule an appointment. Appointments are required for COVID-19 testing through ECDOH. Wait times for ECDOH appointment telephone line are longest in the morning. Callers may choose to call after 10 a.m. if they want to avoid a wait.

    Last week, the age group with the highest number of COVID-19 cases were the 30-39-year-old age group. The age groups with the highest positivity rates were school-aged: 7.1{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} for 5-10-year-olds; 11{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} for 11-13-year-olds; and, 8.4{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c} for 14-17-year-olds. For children under age 18 years, case totals increased by about 180 COVID-19 cases last week from the previous week, to 690 COVID-19 cases. These higher positivity rates may reflect lower relative numbers of tests in these age groups, and a higher likelihood that symptomatic children and adolescents will seek a COVID-19 test for return to school purposes.

    The school team in the ECDOH Office of Epidemiology is managing a steady number of cases among k-12 students and school staff. Data for weeks ending October 30 and November 6 are incomplete* because official test reports are pending. And with COVID-19 cases pending for the week ending October 30, student and school staff cases increased 32{fe463f59fb70c5c01486843be1d66c13e664ed3ae921464fa884afebcc0ffe6c}.

  • County Update: Why I will vaccinate my son against COVID-19

    County Update: Why I will vaccinate my son against COVID-19

    Routt County Commissioner Beth Melton.

    Moms and dads are tough-wired to shield our young children. We usually want them to be harmless, happy and healthy. And yet, we are confronted with hard choices about particularly what that implies. This has in no way been much more evident than in the COVID-19 pandemic. Can my child enjoy with his friends? Can she see her grandma? Is it improved to be isolated from his peers or risk COVID-19 exposure at school? What about if she wears a mask? And now: Ought to I get him vaccinated?

    Pediatric vaccines are very likely to be available for 5- to 11-yr-olds in the coming days, and each individual a single of us will have to sort via the sounds and choose what final decision we will make. As with numerous dad and mom, I want to be completely particular that vaccinating my son is the right preference.

    I have followed the developments on pediatric vaccines with bated breath over the earlier number of months, and I am thrilled that, in the coming days, I will have the prospect to give my son a risk-free and effective vaccine so he can have the exact independence that I have felt considering the fact that finding vaccinated — the independence to get with family members and good friends, to give people today hugs and to devote a lot of my time devoid of a mask.

    For virtually two a long time now, our children’s lives have been upended. My son just turned 6, so that means that just about a person-3rd of his daily life has been all through the pandemic. He skipped almost a 12 months of preschool. He didn’t get to participate in with his friends. He wears a mask all day at faculty. And every single day, we carry on to study about the strained medical center ability in Colorado, the children who are finding unwell and the loss of life toll in spots with reduced vaccination rates. I know we are all completely ready to transfer out of disaster manner and set the past two yrs behind us.

    I also know that vaccines are the route out of the pandemic. So, as a parent, I’ve labored to comprehend the answers to the tricky issues about a COVID-19 vaccine for youngsters to make the suitable choice for my loved ones.

    Is COVID-19 perilous? We all know that children are a great deal less possible to develop into severely sick from COVID-19 than grownups. But, as I listened to Dr. Leana Wen say in a current town corridor, “Kids are not intended to die.” Even while it is much less deadly for kids than adults, COVID-19 is even now one of the top 10 causes of dying for small children in 2021.

    Is the vaccine harmless for little ones? For each vaccine that is permitted by the Fda, it is decided by a staff of authorities that the benefit outweighs the risks. This is genuine of our kids’ regime childhood vaccinations, and it is legitimate of the COVID-19 vaccine.

    Dr. Lee Savio Beers, the president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, reported, “Weighing all individuals risks and benefits, the danger of getting contaminated with COVID considerably outweighs the potential danger of the vaccine. Quite a few experts in pediatric infectious condition, pediatric cardiology, epidemiology have appeared very very carefully at this info both inside of the Fda and the CDC, like quite a few of our own specialists, and are overwhelmingly self-confident that the vaccine is safe and sound and powerful for all the age groups for which it is approved.”

    Most importantly to me, it is not just about him. As a mother, I want my son to believe that we stay in a neighborhood, and we have a obligation to choose treatment of other people. There are grown ups and little ones who cannot be vaccinated.

    There are vaccinated people today who will always be at greater threat of hospitalization or loss of life for the reason that of their age or some preexisting wellness situation. I also know there will be young children and households who select not to be vaccinated. We dwell in a community, and so in get to assistance retain our community safe and wholesome, we opt for to be vaccinated.

    Considering the fact that the day he was born, my son has been vaccinated towards a myriad of health conditions — measles, mumps, pertussis, rubella, chickenpox and influenza. I choose to have him vaccinated mainly because I know that these are lifestyle-saving vaccines they protect from ailments that his grandparents (and even his moms and dads) contracted, but now, him, his friends and his cousins never chance disability or dying for the reason that the young children in this region are largely vaccinated from these sicknesses, and I want COVID-19 to be the same for him and all of us.

    If you’re not sure however, that is Alright. I hope you will browse what the American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC and the Fda have to say and that you’ll observe Steamboat Pilot & Today’s discussion board at 11 a.m. Thursday about COVID-19 vaccines for youngsters. Most critically, please take all of your queries to your child’s doctor so you can make the best selection for your family members.
