May is National Wildfire Awareness Month. While Michigan typically does not see wildfires like they do out west, there can still be dry conditions that increase wildfire risk during the summer months. Here are some tips to protect your home from nearby fires.
• Clear dead leaves and pine needles from your yard and gutters so they can’t be ignites by stray embers.
• Wind-borne embers can find their way into your home through vents and other openings. Use screens or temporarily seal openings to prevent this.
• Keep your yard clear of items that can catch fire (branches, grass clippings, trash). If items can’t be removed, try to keep them 30 feet or more from your house.
• If there is a fire near your home, close your windows and doors to prevent embers from floating inside and igniting furniture or carpets.

As a parent, it's important to be aware of the risks associated with bed sharing with your baby.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), there is an increased risk of suffocation when parents share a bed with their infant. The AAP recommends keeping your baby in its own crib to ensure a safe sleep environment and reduce the chances of accidents.

Safe Sleep is incredibly important for the safety of your baby, but why is that? A Michigan baby passes away every 2-3 days due to unsafe sleep conditions. Following Safe Sleep recommendations can help prevent these deaths, and it is as easy as A-B-C. Babies should be placed to sleep ALONE, on their BACK, in a CRIB or bassinet/pack-n-play. This means no pillows, blankets, stuffed animals, bumper pads, toys, and make sure to use a fitted sheet on a firm mattress.

Visit michigan.gov/safesleep for more tips and to find resources in your county.

Will you please state the priorities for getting vaccine, are they the same as State guidelines. Called last week to clarify whether the Monday 5-6 appointment or registration was the priority list for over 65, was told registration. Web site indicates you can still make appointment on Monday 5-6, Why if people are on list and you have appointments available, first people registered should get them, regardless of Race or where they live in county. Other counties are doing much better then GCHD. I have been registered for a week, will these other groups be put ahead of me.

Just saw something disturbing on Genesee County Health Department, web site
Genesee County is prioritizing Phase 1B as follows:
Those aged 80 years or older, and
Individuals in groups hit the hardest by COVID-19: African Americans, Hispanics, and Flint residents
What happened to over 65???? Is it a local thing, because I can't find it in the Michigan site. Legal?? What about the rest of the county?
MICHIGAN.GOV
www.michigan.gov
The Genesee County Health Department, hasn't posted an update lately, Is the Health Dept using strictly the new sign up register or are they still going to have that Monday 5-6 appointment, which isn't working. Please update on procedures, I understand the shortage here in Michigan, Comment Genesee County get 3000 does, First 3000 that registered are called, post the list!!!
Today I received the Covid-19 Vaccine, Moderna. The experience has been amazing. I was greeted by the Sheriff, paper work verified by the GCHD, given the shot by a registered nurse along with being greeted by the National guard. Then checked on and released after 15 minutes by the EMT. This whole process ran smooth.

I’m thankful for the scientists and doctors who made this record-breaking vaccine possible. A big thank you to the Genesee County Health Department and the health care workers who are administering the vaccine standing out in the cold making the process effortless.

🙏🏽

The Genesee County Health Department needs to clarify what is going on, some of us called Senior Centers last week and had our name sent to GCHD, are we ahead of people that got an appointment on line after we signed up, Some are still trying to get appointments on line!!!!! We checked the system and it crashed at 5:00, sad system. No one understands what is going on. Need to just register online and have system generate appointments when vaccine is available, get a system from other counties or from a commercial operation (Meijer, Rite Aid, etc) Thank you
I manage to get a time, fill-in my info, and submitted and got this error message.
when I try to log on, this is what I see
Site has crashed!!! What a joke for vaccine distribution!
High praise to our Genesee County Health Department and the Gensee County Sheriff Department. I received my vaccination at the Perry Center this morning. Major organization! My appointment was at 8:10AM. I arrived a few minutes early since I didn't know whether to enter off Perry Rd or S.Saginaw St. It ended up being Perry Rd. There was a GESH cruiser there directing traffic. There were maybe 10 cars ahead of me. The line began to move PROMPTLY at 8:00AM. They had 10 nurses on duty as well as some county paramedics and one Regional Ambulance, as a precaution. I received my Pfizer vaccine at 8:10AM. No side effects felt. Traffic is directed to the south side of the building to wait out your 15 mins and then you exit out onto S. Saginaw. I was on my way home at 8:34AM. I go back for my second shot 3 weeks from today, same time, same place. Hats off to every single person involved in this roll out at the Perry Center. Proud day for Genesee County! Many thanks for all the hard work that has been done, is being done and will continue to get done! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏⭐
I am trying to register, I am 77 years old with COPD. can not find how to register.
I have commented on this site's a couple times, I saw that you added a couple of sites, The only way to do this safely is "Drive through" Most older citizens can't stand very long, and lines would spread virus, plus the cold, it's winter in Michigan. Find someplace to drive in and out, better for health care workers and everyone.
