Health information can be confusing. Ask questions and take charge of your health. Ask your provider to explain what’s unclear, repeat your care plan in your own words and write down important information. There are no bad questions. #HealthLiteracy #ClevelandPublicHealth

Where it can rain, it can flood. And flooding can occur any time of year. Are you prepared? Determine the roads likely to flood so that you can plan alternate routes. Identify the fastest way to higher ground. Learn more at Ready.gov/Floods
Before a flood. Know your risk for floods. Visit FEMA's Flood Map Service Center to know types of flood risks in your area. Purchase flood insurance. Homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover flooding. It typically takes up to 30 days for a policy to go into effect. In case of emergency, keep documents in a waterproof container.During a flood. Evacuate immediately, if told to do so. Never drive around barricades. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1. Do not walk, swim or drive through flood waters. Turn Around. Don’t Drown!During a flood. Stay off bridges over fast-moving water. Fast-moving water can wash bridges away without warning. Stay inside your car if it is trapped in rapidly moving water. Get on the roof if water is rising inside the car. Get to the highest level if trapped in a building. Only get on the roof if necessary and once there, signal for help. Do not climb into a closed attic to avoid getting trapped by rising floodwater.After a flood. Pay attention to authorities for information and instructions. Return home only when authorities say it is safe. Wear heavy work gloves, protective clothing and boots during cleanup and use appropriate face coverings or masks if cleaning mold or other debris. People with asthma and other lung conditions and/or immune suppression should not enter buildings with indoor water leaks or mold growth that can be seen or smelled.

Planning a BBQ, cookout or picnic? Use our #foodsafety tips 👇
1: 2-hour food safety rule. Don't let food sit out for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if temperature is above 90 °F). Keep coolers out of direct sun at the picnic site and keep them closed as much as possible.
Food Safety Tips for Eating & Cooking Outdoors. Pack your cooler with lots of ice or ice packs and make sure it is 40 °F or below. Load coolers into the passenger compartment of the car where it is cooler. Pack raw meat, poultry, and seafood in a separate cooler from food that is already cooked or ready-to-eat, such as beverages and produce.When cooking & eating outdoors. If you don’t have access to running water, use a water bottle, some soap, and paper towels. Or, consider using moist disposable towelettes for cleaning your hands.Keep your meats & veggies separate. Never use the same platter and utensils for cooked food that were used for raw meat, poultry, or seafood.

High childhood vaccination rates protect our community from contagious diseases. Keep your children up to date on vaccines so they can learn, thrive and grow. Low- and no-cost vaccines are available throughout Cleveland: ow.ly/mxJo50ZBY7H
 Why vaccination is critical for school-aged kids.School is a place where kids play and learn alongside lots of other kids, sharing classrooms, crayons, snacks...and germs. Their immune systems are busy, too. Staying up to date n vaccines prepares your child's immune system to recognize and resist serious diseases they encounter.
By supporting childhood immunization, you play a key role in ensuring that all children get the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong.

Need to find your vaccination records? Here are a few places to look!
Check with current and past health  care providers. Call the doctor's office, clinic, or pharmacy where you received the vaccines. 

Log in to your online patient portal (such as MyChart) for any hospital network or clinic where you received care. Check your home records and other paperwork. Look through your old papers, including baby books and school or camp forms. 

Ask parents or other caregivers if they have records of your childhood immunizations.Check with schools and camps you attended. Contact the last school, college, camp, or childcare facility you attended. Keep in mind that generally records are kept only for several years after students leave the system.
Check with past employers, including the military. Previous employers, including the military, may have immunization records if they were required for employment.

School is almost here! 📚 Make sure your child is up to date on recommended vaccines before the first day. Vaccines help protect your child, classmates and vulnerable members of our community. Check their vaccine record and talk with your healthcare provider. 💉 #BackToSchool #VaccinesWork

A healthy school year starts with protection. Ensure your child is up to date on vaccines, including MMR, before school. Measles outbreaks continue nationwide. Vaccines protect your child and vulnerable communities. Talk to your doctor. #HealthyTodayReadyTomorrow #BackToSchool
The MMR Vaccine

Help stop measles in its tracks this school year.

Most people who are vaccinated with MMR will build immunity to mumps, measles, and rubella for life.


Image 3: Children need 2 doses of the MMR vaccine.

First dose at 12 to 15 months
Second dose at 4 to 6 years.

To help keep your child healthy and active, follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' vaccine schedule, designed to give your child the strongest immunity as early as possible.
