Public Health 3 a. Women, Infant and Children (WIC) Program Update S. Powers gave verbal presentation about the WIC Program. This is a federally funded program that provides healthy foods, nutrition education, and breastfeeding support, for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five. WIC is seeing an upward trend in pregnant woman enrollment after a decline last summer. Of the 50 pregnant women certified for WIC in the past 12 months, 23 of them were enrolled over the past 4 months. This has helped bring WIC monthly participation rates above 300. Current waiver allows for services to be provided over the phone. This waiver expires May 20, 2021, may be extended. b. COVID-19 Update S. Powers referred to the Communicable Disease Report included in the packet and reviewed current case count for the board. Disease activity is on a downward turn, however, remains at moderately high per state DHS. Testing positivity rate is low across the state and Door County is at 2.6%. Current positive cases average two (2) cases per day. Public Health has been doing full contract tracing. Wisconsin is a leader in regard to population vaccinated. The state reports that Door County is at 25% for first doses and 15% for the full series in the 65 and older population. These are the parameters used to determine when we can move into more normal activities. S. Powers reminds that it is important that current public health pandemic guidelines continue to be followed. Including avoiding large gatherings, masking, distancing, and handwashing. She thanks the board for their support in practicing these good pandemic behaviors, and for being community leaders in regards to this. COVID-19 vaccine task force continues to meet weekly to plan and coordinate efforts. Partners on this taskforce include County EMS, Emergency Management, Fire Chiefs Coalition, DCMC, Bellin and Aurora. Drive thru clinics have been going very well. Increasing efficiencies each week. Currently receiving Pfizer Vaccine. A separate allotment is provided by the state for those in the educators/childcare eligibility group. Washington Island vaccine clinic planned for March 25, 2021. Local outreach is being done to ensure all have access to vaccine and clinics. Additional eligibility groups are expected to be announced at the end of the month. Vaccine availability continues to be limited but we have been told to expect better supply by April. i. DCMC Update C. Krause provides an update for Door County Medical Center (DCMC) regarding COVID- 19 including current inpatient status, testing site and vaccine allotment and scheduling. ii. Board Actions S. Powers shares that Wisconsin Association of Local health Departments and Boards (WALHDAB) is holding a forum on March 9, 2021 at 6pm and invites board members to join. WALHDAB looks to provide an opportunity to have an open discussion about what boards of health can do to support their staff and health department moving through the COVID-19 Pandemic. 4 9.
