EXCITE EVENT

Author: Deborah Shepherd

Planning Unit: Wayne County CES

Major Program: Active Living and Health Promotions General

Plan of Work: Wellness in Wayne County

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Wayne County continues to have high numbers of unvaccinated citizens and COVID cases.  A collaborative event utilizing EXCITE was held to help inform the public and provide vaccinations.  Also COVID home testing kits and information were distributed.  

A vaccination clinic was held during the entry day of the Wayne County Fair Expo.  

7 vaccines were given that day: Two Pneumo 20, one Tetanus, and four Shingrix. We had an additional 5 people who where interested in both Shingrix and Pneumonia vaccines, but due to insurance issues/history, we were unable to administer.  10 COVID Testing kits were distributed as well.  

COVID and the importance of vaccines information was distributed to over 100 EXPO participants.  Information was also promoted thru Radio, newspaper, newsletters, county website and facebook media.
