ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald November 14, 2018 Some Baker County residents received a fl u shot Tuesday without leaving their cars. The Baker County Health and Emergency Management departments conducted an exercise that tested their ability to distribute medical supplies during a natural disaster or other emergency. The event ran from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the former Oregon Department of Transportation property at 1050 S. Bridge St., which the county now owns, near Mount Hope Cemetery. Residents could drive in to receive a fl u shot as well as a fi rst-aid kit, water and either a blanket or poncho. In addition to boosting the county’s fl u vaccination rate, the event served as a Point of Distribution (POD) exercise for county offi cials. PODs are places where residents could go following a natural disaster to pick up medicine. Tuesday’s exercise was the fi rst the county has done. Although the fi rst-aid kits, water and clothing were free, the fl u shots weren’t. The county did bill insurance compa- nies, most of which cover annual fl u shots. Participants could choose to stay in their vehicle while receiving the inoculation, but they did have to fi ll out forms.
