Top 3 reasons to get seasonal flu vaccine:
● Prevent seasonal influenza-related
death
● Prevent severe illness
● Protect other people
In the U.S. influenza results in approximately 200,000 hospitalizations
each year. Annually over 36,000 people in the U.S. die from the flu and most are age 65 or older. More people die from
flu than from any other
vaccine-preventable disease. The Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Immunization, has materials
available promoting the importance of flu vaccination at
www.doh.state.fl.us/Disease_ctrl/immune/
Please protect yourself and your family and get your seasonal flu shot.

Every Woman Florida Initiative
Every Woman Florida is a collaborative project
between the March of Dimes and the Florida
Department of Health aimed at raising awareness on
the importance and benefits of being healthy prior
to pregnancy and promoting changes at the
individual, healthcare provider and system level.
The overarching focus is to integrate preconception
health into existing healthcare services. The

portal for healthcare providers on preconception
health. The site contains health tips,
assessment tools and printable patient education
handouts and guidance for providers on provision of

 TORNADO
WARNING
If you are at the Jackson County Health Department when
a tornado warning has been issued, a JCHD employee will
take you to a designated "tornado shelter" within the
building. Once you are situated in the shelter
area,
if possible, assume a kneeling position, head
down, with hands covering your head. Wait until
the ALL CLEAR signal is announced and you will then be
taken back to your previous location.
If you are at the Jackson County Health Department
after there has been an actual tornado strike of our
facility, JCHD staff will
evaluate injuries, administer
first aid, and take appropriate action.
TORNADO SAFETY RULES:
●
In other buildings move to a small interior room or hallway
on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of
furniture.
Put as many walls as possible between you
and the outside.
● Be aware of flying debris.
Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and
injuries. Stay away from windows.
● Get out of automobiles.
Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; instead, leave
it immediately for safe shelter.
● If caught outside or in a
vehicle, lay flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover
your head with your hands.
Emergency contact information: 911 for fire, police
and EMS
