MINUTES - Draft <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> March 24, 2021 <br /> Kristin Prelipp, Communications Manager, mentioned that the articles in the Board packet were <br /> just a selection of the numerous COVID-19-related articles that were gathered. Included in the <br /> Board's packet were articles from ABC11 regarding the COVID-19 vaccine waitlist, the Herald <br /> Sun erroneously reporting that OC reported zero cases that was based on the state's system <br /> not being fully updated and an article about our new vaccine registration system (Everbridge). <br /> Lastly, Ms. Prelipp spoke about the 6x9 inch postcard English on the front and Spanish on the <br /> back. The second round of postcards will include a QR code with access to Burmese, Karen, <br /> Swahili, Chinese and Arabic languages. The card will mention the basics such as where people <br /> can get the vaccine including the OCHD and the ease of signing up. It also mentions the NC <br /> DHHS' website, Myspot.nc.gov. There are also some facts about the COVID-19 vaccines to <br /> dispel some worries that have been heard in the community. For example, the fact that the <br /> vaccine does not change DNA and will not affect fertility. The postcards will be widely <br /> distributed including at testing and vaccine sites and inside of food boxes. <br /> Media items were in the packet which focused on Orange County's events and our <br /> involvement in various efforts. <br /> Vill. Board Comments <br /> None. <br /> IX. Adjournment <br /> Jessica Frega moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:53pm and Timothy Smith seconded. <br /> The next Board of Health Meeting will be held April 28, 2021 at 7:00pm via Go To Meeting. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Quintana Stewart, MPA <br /> Orange County Health Director <br /> Secretary to the Board <br /> S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda &Abstracts\2021 Agenda &Abstracts/ <br /> March Page 6 <br />
