Speak Up: Vaccinations given on last day of Delaware State Fair

Posted

Along with the wild rides and savory snacks, fairgoers were able to get a free COVID-19 vaccine via the Division of Public Health at the Delaware State Fair. Having a vaccination booth at the fair allowed a greater portion of the population to be immunized but also educated the public about the vaccines being administered. At the booth, they provided three handouts, with information such as the differences between the shots and the production of the vaccines.

  • I am curious — in the early days of COVID vaccinations, people reported fever, chills, fatigue, sore arms. Now, a person can get a vaccination at a fair or amusement and no “adverse reactions.” No one has those reactions now? — Eileen Waldron
  • I got mine in a hospital in April and had no reaction at all. — Charlie Harper

Delaware tip-gathering organization names executive director

If you see something, say something — all under the cloak of anonymity and to benefit a community. Delaware Crime Stoppers has a new executive director — Michael Gallagher — but its mission remains the same: The nonprofit organization revolves around taking tips from the public, which may earn rewards for the source and boost police investigations. “The only way we respond (to tipsters) is by their Tip ID Number,” said the 30-year-old Mr. Gallagher, whose hiring was announced May 21. “That’s the only way we know who they are.”

  • Wonder how long it will be before Trump supporters start calling in, reporting a stolen election. — Gary Greer
  • Always turning something into a political circus. — Howard Gaines III
  • Hunter laptop, anyone? — Shawn McGrath
