This is National Police Week, so give a wave if you see our officers in town.

In honor of that, our Mukilteans of May 11, 2020 are our police staff! Our crime prevention division is doing great work to keep our spirits up (literally, with our Spirit Weeks!), and our patrol officers, sergeants, corporals and detectives are keeping an eye on our safety and responding to calls throughout our community.

They remind us to stay apart, they find time to drive by front yard birthday parties, they mediate and assist families in crisis, they track down individuals breaking the law, and they keep an eye on this City when we are all asleep.

Let's all share our thanks for our police this week and always.

Do you know someone who deserves to be the Mukiltean of the Day? Nominate them!

There is a COVID-19 Pandemic Serosurvey and Blood Sampling study being conducted by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in partnership with the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Pittsburgh. The results of this study will help identify the extent to which the coronavirus has spread undetected in the United States and provide insights into which communities and populations are most affected.

If it sounds interesting, you can find out if you are eligible to participate in the study we need to get some additional information by filling out this survey. Only people who have not had a positive COVID test and/or known infection are eligible for the study.

Vaccinations in kids are down (CDC article), hopefully because of concern about additional doctor's visits. Parents and guardians should make an appointment right away for any immunizations their child has missed. Parents may be nervous about going in to a clinic, but health care providers are making clinics safe for families to visit. Give your doctor a call.
