Hands-Only CPR Training & Community Research Project - October 30

Oct. 30: Hands-Only CPR Training and Community Research Project, noon - 4 p.m., TBA | Add to calendar

The Denver area has been chosen for a community research study to assess the effectiveness of three different training methods for increasing CPR knowledge and skills: an on-screen learning module with practice on a manikin, a traditional classroom education session and a 90-second public service announcement. Department employees are encouraged to participate in this research study and will be given a $10 Amazon Gift Card for the initial training and a $10 Amazon Gift Card for a 3-month follow-up interview. At the three-month follow-up visit, all participants, regardless of initial method of training, will be offered access to the training session with the method that shows superior skill acquisition from the training research.  Register Here.

Flu Shot Clinic - October 3, 8am - Noon, Carson

Walgreens will provide vaccinations for UnitedHealthcare and Kaiser members. The vaccinations available this year include:

• Flu shots ― trivalent, protecting from three different flu strains.
• Pneumonia.
• Tdap ― tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough).

To get the pneumonia vaccine, employees must meet one of three criteria: be 65 or older, have a medical condition that warrants the vaccination or be a smoker. The Tdap shot is a once-in-a-lifetime vaccination, with a TD booster every 10 years. If you plan to get either of those vaccinations, let the pharmacists know your health and vaccination history.  

To receive a vaccine at no cost, present your UnitedHealthcare or Kaiser ID card. Without a card, the flu vaccine will cost $25. Dependents over 7 years old and spouses also may get vaccinated.

If you need written proof of your vaccination, please inform the pharmacist at the time of vaccination.  

If you are unable to attend the on-site clinic:

• Kaiser members can get a flu vaccine at no cost at Kaiser facilities.  
• UnitedHealthcare members can get a flu vaccine at no cost through any Walgreens pharmacy.

Please see a list of statewide flu clinic dates and locations.  

You may fill out the vaccine consent form ahead of time and bring it with you.   

If you have questions, please contact Renée Strauss at extension 2067.
