County Commissioners, Dr Alison Berry, and Willie Bence,

Thank you,

Questions for Dr Alison Berry:
1. Did anyone check the coyote at the hospital for bird flu? Like eagles, they eat carrion.
2. I received my (Covid) bivalent booster on Sept. 9. Is it still protecting me?
Also, I see many people wearing the lighter surgical masks. Do those protect us against Covid?
Thank you enormously for the work you're doing for the public's health.
3. Are the flu test results JCPH shares with us done from the Covid PCR test samples? Or do patients need to get a specific flu test administered, to know their diagnosis?
4. What negative health consequences have been experienced by so-called
"booster bandits" - like those who received the J&J vaccine but only
waited a few months (not the recommended 8 months) before going
out-of-state or out-of-country to get a booster?
We are in a situation in which boosters are recommended annually even
though protection against infection does not last a year after the
latest booster. Which of the negative health consequences experienced
by booster bandits of the past could serve as warnings against booster
banditry in the future?
