The Dispatch
Last year, as Davidson County grappled with a global pandemic, it also faced another health crisis the opioid epidemic.
Health care professionals at the county’s two emergency rooms dealt with an increasing number of people who headed to the ER for overdosing on opioids. But last year proved to be much different than years past. The number of overdose visits to the county’s ERs reached its highest in a decade, according to data reported by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
In Davidson County, 196 people were recorded to have visited the county’s two emergency rooms. That’s 16 people overdosing per month, or one person every other day.
Those at highest risk of serious COVID-19 outcomes continue to be next in line to receive the vaccine
–Anyone age 16 and older is now eligible to sign up for the county’s COVID-19 vaccine registry. This opens up the registry to about 54,000 additional San Luis Obispo County community members. The county will continue to prioritize those at higher risk for COVID-19 complications based on age and health conditions.
“I am thrilled to announce that if you are 16 or older and live in SLO County, you are now able to sign up to get this safe and very effective vaccine,” said County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein. “This is a milestone we have been looking to for the past year and I encourage everyone in our community – including those who have been eligible for some time – to take this opportunity, get the vaccine, and help put this pandemic behind us.”
–Thousands of SLO County residents who are eligible to get their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at one of the county’s three mass vaccination clinics can now proactively schedule their second dose appointment on Wednesdays.
As of April 2, nearly 62,000 people received the first dose at one of the county’s clinics and more than 24,000 are awaiting their second dose; these individuals should proactively book their second dose appointment when they are eligible.
“Completing your vaccine series provides the highest level of protection from COVID-19 and can help us end the pandemic,” said County Health Officer Dr. Penny Borenstein. Residents who were first vaccinated at one of the county’s clinics can use the county’s online second dose date calculator to identify when they are eligible to get a second dose. They can then book their second dose appointment up to one week in advance. Second-dose appointments open every Wednesday morning by 9 a.m. for the following week
