The Christian County Health Department remains committed to those in the community it serves from vaccines, car seat checks, and environmental testing. Joe Torres, Environmental Director of the CCHD, and Diana Voiles, Director of Nursing, joined the WTIM Morning Show to discuss pertinent information surrounding the health and well-being of the community. Voiles starts by sharing the recent increase in upper respiratory illness rates that are hitting residents following the holidays.
Voiles expands on car seat checks that the CCHD provides for residents. While many younger or first time parents may benefit from knowing their child is safe on the roads, experienced parents are encouraged to do the same. Voiles says this an in depth process that takes less than 30 minutes and is tailored to the exact car seat and vehicle you drive.
Both Voiles and Torres talk about the newest requirements passed down from the Illinois Department of Public Health in regard to lead testing of young children.
