Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle -- even with the windows cracked, even “for a minute”. Vehicles heat up to dangerous temperatures quickly and children's bodies heat up three to ...five times faster than adults'. What can you do to help prevent this situation?
☀️Always check the backseat when exiting the vehicle
☀️Keep vehicle doors locked and keep keys away from children
☀️Call 911 if you see a child alone in a vehicle
Like and share to raise awareness as the temperatures start rising!

This Earth Day we are reminded to think of the impact we have on the environment and the ways we can keep our community safe, clean, and healthy.

Here are 3 easy tasks you can do today to ...make a difference:
1. If you see litter, pick it up! If everyone helps, it'll be cleaned up in no time.
2. If you're going somewhere down the road, walk or bicycle there instead of driving your car.
3. Instead of throwing out your unwanted items and buying new things, consider donating them and buying thrifted items.

By reducing, reusing, and recycling we can do our part to give back to the planet.

Individuals between the ages of 16 and 44 will have access to schedule appointments beginning Thursday morning. In other exciting news, Connecticut is currently second in the nation in percentage of ...population that has received at least one dose and +100 more pharmacies throughout Connecticut will begin offering COVID-19 vaccines over the next several days.

Lamont says, "...There is going to be an initial rush of people who attempt to make appointments during the first couple of days, similar to what we experienced when we expanded to other age groups. I urge everyone to please be patient and check back as new appointments are being added every day."

But don't forget, although we are optimistic about the future it is important to continue wearing masks, social distancing, avoiding large gatherings as well as testing and isolating if you are sick.
