Auglaize County to make a clean break from illness… The Auglaize County Health Department is kicking off a hand washing campaign.
Hand washing is the single most important act you can do to prevent getting sick and making others sick. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 5,000 people die each year from food borne illnesses. 78 million become ill, and between 79,000 and 96,000 die from hospital infections each year.
Page-sized posters that can be hung in restroom areas can be downloaded here:

SEASONAL FLU The seasonal flu vaccine helps protect against influenza viruses circulating during this year’s flu season. At that time we will offer the seasonal flu vaccine at separate clinics, the locations, dates, and times of which will be publicized in newspapers, radio, television, and our website. There are other health care providers who now have the seasonal flu vaccine; please consider obtaining your vaccine from them if you don’t want to wait until our shipments arrive.
H1N1 The Health Department is receiving limited amounts of the H1N1 vaccine; we are using these doses to cover our most at risk residents as required by federal guidelines. We do not yet know when we will have vaccine for the population of the county that is not included in the priority groups. When we do have sufficient supplies of H1N1 vaccine, we will open clinics in the county, and will publicize the dates, times, and locations of those clinics. The priority groups for receiving H1N1 vaccine are: Health care workers who have direct contact with sick patients Pregnant women Household contacts and caregivers of infants less than 6 months of age Persons age 6 months to 24 years Persons 25-49 years of age who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk of serious consequences to flu illness Other health care providers and pharmacies will be administering H1N1 vaccine also, and they are required to follow the federal guidelines as far as limiting vaccine to persons in the priority groups.
