Stormwater Maintenance Districts (SWMD), enable Kent County through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Kent Conservation District, to take over maintenance responsibilities for stormwater management basins from Homeowner Associations and commercial property owners. A community or property owner that signs into a SWMD, is ensured that their stormwater system is maintained using the Best Management Practices (BMP).

Why should I get my child vaccinated. COVID occurs mostly in older people.

• Children are not immune from COVID-19. 1.5 million cases, and more than 13,000 hospitalizations from the disease nationwide have been reported to the CDC among children ages 11-17. The vaccine is their best protection.
• It’s particularly important to vaccinate children in this age group with underlying health conditions, or those who live with those who do. These individuals, including vulnerable seniors, are all at higher risk for severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.
• While youth are less likely to be hospitalized, 61% of those who were had at least one underlying health condition.
• As more people get vaccinated, adolescents represent an increasing proportion of recent COVID-19 cases.

Is it safe for my child to get the vaccine?

• COVID-19 is a vaccine-preventable disease, just like measles, mumps and other childhood diseases. The vaccine is their best protection against it.
• According to Pfizer, clinical trials involving 2,260 12-to-16-year-olds showed its efficacy is 100%.
• No cases of coronavirus were found among children aged 12 to 15 who received the vaccine, while 16 cases were identified in the placebo group.
• The children produced strong antibody responses; much higher levels compared to trial participants 16 – 25 years old according to trial data from Pfizer.
What are the side effects in younger children?
• Young people in the trial experienced no serious side effects. The most common side effects were like those found in adults: fever, fatigue, redness at the injection site, headaches, chills, and muscle and joint pain.
• Symptoms typically went away after 1-3 days and were more common after the second dose.
• We hear parents’ concerns about the potential impact of the vaccine on their child’s fertility. There is no reported loss of fertility among the millions of people who have already received a vaccine, and pregnancy has occurred among those who have received vaccines, both during and after clinical trials. Also, according to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, there is no scientific evidence of loss of fertility from any of the three vaccines authorized for Emergency use, calling it “unlikely.”
