Health Department staff is requesting assistance from the MRC in back to school clinics this year. The clinics will be held here at the Peoria Health Department and four MRC members are requested for each clinic. Here are the dates and times:
Friday, July 29th, 9-11 am
Tuesday, August 2nd, 4-6 pm
Friday, August 5th, 9-11 am
Tuesday, August 9th 4-6pm
Friday, August 12th, 9-11
There are three positions MRC members will fill. They are:
- Traffic control: determine clients are here for the Immunization Clinic; direct clients to the clinic area; and may need to direct clients to a waiting area.
- Hand out paperwork and assess need for services: review school recommendations for grade levels, answer client questions, and hand out appropriate vaccine information forms.
- Runners: direct clients to appropriate rooms, make copies, check traffic control
Members interested in assisting in any (or all???) of these clinics please Contact Us.

In the case of a pandemic or any disaster the need to rapidly distribute medication or supplies is vital. For that reason I'm putting together a team of MRC members that will specialize in these activities. Members will be cross-trained as to understand all Logistical positions. In the case of a real-world incident MRC members that fill these teams will be looked to as experts for running these operations. The more members interested in this team the larger the scope of responsibilities will be for the MRC in a real world incident.
There is one requirement for this team. You must NOT be in a responder role for your day job. IE people who work at hospitals, fire departments, EMS, and police departments are not eligible. The reason for this is that in the case of a large scale real world emergency you would be utilized by your employer before you could be used as an MRC member.
Members who are interested will participate in training, drills, and exercises in addition to regular MRC activities. This is our opportunity to make the MRC more integrated in response efforts so if you are interested please let me know using the Contact Us page!
