Safety Meeting Invitation from 3rd District Council Office:
A Message from Councilwoman Suzie Price:

As Chair of the Public Safety Committee I want to make sure my resident are well informed. With this in mind, the committee has been making an effort to provide Long Beach residents with better access to our meetings by holding our regular meetings throughout the city so that more residents can participate in these important discussions.

This Thursday, January 25th beginning 6:00 PM we will be holding our next Public Safety Committee Meeting at Fire Station 14 (5200 Eliot St.).

The Public Safety Committee focuses on some of the most important issues the city is facing, so ensuring residents from across Long Beach are able to attend these meetings is essential for us to provide information and help residents be a part of these discussions. Over the past year we have been holding meetings throughout the city we have seen greater resident attendance and engagement on these important public safety issues.

On the agenda for the Public Safety Committee Meeting is a report on the Police Department use of body cameras, an update from the i-team on public safety, a report on the safe rides program, a report on electronic flares, and a report on dispatch and emergency communication and disaster preparedness.

I am happy to hold this meeting in my district and hope those residents interested in these topics will attend and be a part of the conversation.

Please feel free to contact my office with any questions by email at district3@longbeach.gov, or by phone at (562)570-6300.

Sincerely,
Suzie Price
Councilwoman, Third District

Free Influenza (Flu) Vaccines
2018-01-24 13:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Long Beach resident dies of influenza. Here’s your chance to get vaccinated for free TODAY.
Read the latest in the Long Beach Press-Telegram, CLICK Here.
Flu vaccine is now recommended for EVERYONE over 6 months. It is one of the most important ways to prevent influenza, which is frequently much worse than a typical “cold virus”.

Health Officer Confirms First Death from Influenza in Long Beach this Flu Season
Important Message to All Long Beach Residents: The City Health Officer has confirmed the first influenza-associated death in an individual less than 65 years of age in Long Beach during the 2017-2018 flu season.

The individual was in their 30s and had underlying health conditions. “This death is a sober reminder that flu can cause serious illness,” said Anissa Davis, MD, MPH, Long Beach City Health Officer. “The Long Beach Health Department continues to recommend that all individuals six months of age and older get their flu vaccine. Getting the flu vaccine can prevent people from getting sick, or may lessen the severity of symptoms for those who become ill.”

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) reported 74 cases of laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated deaths among patients under 65 years of age to date during this flu season. Surveillance conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that the primary flu strain this season is influenza A (H3N2), which has been associated with higher rates of hospitalizations and deaths in persons 65 years and older and young children.

The CDC recommends flu vaccine for everyone over six months of age, especially those at greatest risk for complications and those who live with or care for these individuals:
• Pregnant women.
• Children younger than five years of age.
• Adults 65 years and older.
• People with weakened immune systems.
• Those with certain medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, or conditions affecting the nervous system.
• People who are overweight or obese.
• Those working or living in nursing homes or long-term care facilities.
• Health care personnel.
• Child care workers.

Symptoms of flu include: fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headaches, and fatigue. In addition to getting the flu vaccine, practicing good hygiene such as washing hands, covering one’s cough, and staying home when sick can prevent those around you from becoming ill. It is not too late to get vaccinated against the flu.

The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services (Health Department) continues to vaccinate residents during the flu season. There will be a free flu vaccination clinic held on Wednesday, January 24, 2018, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the Health Department, 2525 Grand Ave. For more information, please visit http://bit.ly/2lmwZQP.
