Protect your families and coworkers. Stay up to date on your MMR vaccine. Measles is spreading and has made its way to Ohio. The measles vaccine (called MMR as it protects against measles, mumps, and rubella) is very safe and effective. Two doses of MMR is 97% effective at preventing measles. If you are up to date on your measles vaccine, the risk of getting sick is very low. Visit the CDC for more information: https://lnkd.in/gJyhncbp #healthupdate #measles #ohio Columbus Public Health, City of Columbus

We are pleased to join our partners at Big Cities Health Coalition to build strong and healthy people and communities here and across the country.
We've experienced so many public health emergencies in recent years, that you could be forgiven for missing how much local health departments also do to bring down chronic disease. Our new brief (?? in comments) gives many examples. Here are just a few: ?? The Boston Public Health Commission partnered with barbershops to install blood pressure cuffs and train barbers to discuss hypertension risks. About 90% of the men screened through the program learned they had Stage 1 or 2 hypertension and were encouraged to seek care. ?? Thanks to persistent efforts by Columbus Public Health, the city passed ordinances restricting tobacco sales to adults 21 and up and banning sale of most flavored tobacco products. Since these policies went into effect, the smoking rate has dropped from 35% to 13% – a much sharper drop than smoking has seen nationally. ?? The Kansas City (Mo.) Health Department is using a $6.4 million Housing and Urban Development grant to remove lead from 170 older homes over the next four years. An additional 3,500 homes in the city need lead removal. ?? The Pima County Health Department (serving Tucson, AZ, and surrounding communities) has a Stock Inhaler in Schools Program that provides schools with medication, a standardized protocol for respiratory distress, and other support so they are better equipped to help students manage asthma. ?? The Shelby County Government Health Department (serving Memphis and surrounding communities) operates a Senior Food Program that provides monthly healthy food packages to eligible seniors. Participants also receive $40 in vouchers each week during the summer months to spend at farmer’s markets. Find out even more ways that big city health departments work to prevent and mitigate chronic disease at the link in the comments.
