The Daily Record
MILLERSBURG - Beginning next week, the Holmes County General Health District will be begin scheduling COVID-19 vaccine appointments to those in the third group of Phase 1B under Ohio’s COVID-19 Vaccination Plan.
The group will include those individuals 70 years and older and all other individuals 75-plus years and older who are still interested in receiving a vaccine.
The health department is still receiving a very limited number of vaccines and asks the public to be patient, according to a release from the department. Some individuals may be briefly placed on a wait list and receive a call-back to schedule their vaccine appointment once additional supply is available.
Holmes County reports decrease in elderly falls
The Times-Reporter
The Holmes County General Health District recently reported that emergency department data has shown an 11% decrease in fall related injuries among county residents age 65 or older in 2020.
The health district offers Tai Chi, Matter of Balance and various evidence-based programs designed to improve balance and mobility. A reported 8,200 people viewed the tai chi demonstration posts on the health district’s Facebook page in 2020.
Another factor in the decrease is the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of visits to emergency departments decreased in March and April as restrictions were being put into place. The lowest number of fall related injuries visits were made during these months as well. One possible reason is that older adults avoided going to emergency departments and used other sources of care for the evaluation and treatment of injuries.
