World Series of Birding, May 8, Join 'The Green Herons' Team

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

NJ Audubon 'World Series of Birding’ takes place on Saturday May 8! Chris Neff, NJ Audubon, is our Mendham bird expert that many local birding fans follow on Facebook - you can take part by joining Chris’ team, ’The Green Herons’. It’s a great team event for anyone with an interest in birds around us. I joined last year and learnt a lot about the different birds in our gardens, parks, ponds, waterways and more. Watch and list species you see over 24 hours and report back to Chris. Chris collates the species and helps identify them if you are unsure. Last year the team identified roughly 100 different species in and around our neighborhood! Mendham Township Environmental Commission is helping Chris promote the event. Join 'The Green Herons<https://worldseriesofbirding.org/teampage.asp?fundid=1636#.YIxozRNKiV5>' team on Saturday May 8! Martin Slayne Chair, Mendham Township Environmental Commission

Update on the J&J COVID-19 Vaccine

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

This past Monday, vaccine eligibility was extended to all individuals 16 or older. If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, there are many appointments available through the Atlantic Health System<https://www.atlantichealth.org/conditions-treatments/coronavirus-covid-19/c…> in Morris County and across the state of New Jersey. Late yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/fda-cdc-lift-vaccine-use.html> (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf_OuB1rBi0> (FDA) lifted their recommended pause on the use of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 Vaccine. The NJ Department of Health is in the process of notifying vaccination sites across the state and plans to provide them with the updated CDC and FDA guidance regarding the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine. The NJDOH has said that vaccination sites will be provided with the updated fact sheets accompanying the vaccine, which indicates that women under the age of 50 should be aware of the risk of a rare blood clotting syndrome associated with the vaccine. Health care providers administering the vaccine and vaccine recipients or caregivers should review the Johson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet for Healthcare Providers Administering the Vaccine<https://www.fda.gov/media/146304/download> and the Fact Sheet for Recipients and Caregivers<https://www.fda.gov/media/146305/download>. These documents have been revised to include information about the risk of thrombosis-thrombocytopenia syndrome, which has occurred in a very small number of people who have received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine. If you have questions regarding risks associated with the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine, please refer to the CDC and FDA websites and contact your healthcare provider. Hope you had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather today and have a great rest of your weekend! Sarah Nebart Mayor, Mendham Township

Stormwater Pollution in Mendham Township

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Stormwater pollution is one of New Jersey's greatest threats to clean and plentiful water, and that's why we're all doing something about it. By sharing the responsibility, making small, easy changes in our daily lives and adhering to stormwater regulations, we can keep common pollutants out of stormwater. It all adds up to cleaner water, and it saves the high cost of cleaning up polluted water. As a resident of Mendham Township and of the state of New Jersey, it's important to take note of the easy things you can do every day to protect our water. * LIMIT YOUR USE OF FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES * PROPERLY USE AND DISPOSE OF HAZARDOUS PRODUCTS * DON'T LITTER-RECYCLE, RECYCLE, RECYCLE! * CURB YOUR PET * DON'T FEED WILDLIFE * DISPOSE OF YARD WASTE PROPERLY For more information: State of NJ Stormwater<http://www.state.nj.us/dep/stormwater/> or the US EPA<http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/home.cfm?program_id=6> [Image result for stormwater pollution prevention plan]

J&J Vaccination Pause Will Not Impact Monday’s Vaccine Eligibility Expansion

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Last week, the State of New Jersey temporarily paused the administration of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine upon recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/JJUpdate.html> and the Food and Drug Administration. The CDC and the FDA are reviewing the data involving six reported cases in women between the ages of 18 and 48 who received the J&J vaccine. In these cases, a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets. In these cases, symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination. Both the CDC and FDA have said that these adverse events are extremely rare, as there have been nearly seven million doses of the J&J vaccine administered nationwide. Prior to this pause, NJ had administered just over 244,000 doses of the J&J vaccine, which includes 47,266 women in that age group, and no similar adverse effects have been reported. If you received the J&J vaccine within the last three weeks, no matter your age, and you experience leg pain, abdominal discomfort or pain, shortness of breath or a severe headache, please call your healthcare provider or go to the nearest hospital to be assessed. All vaccine sites in NJ have taken J&J vaccine doses out of inventory and will not use them until further federal guidance is provided. Additionally, the state has requested that vaccination sites develop alternative plans for any already-scheduled J&J vaccine appointments. Thankfully, most sites in our state receive a mix of vaccine types, so many are able to switch to either Pfizer or Moderna for appointments. The state is encouraging residents to keep their vaccine appointments for the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine, which have been demonstrated to be safe and effective. Unfortunately, due to the pause of the administration of the J&J COVID-19 vaccine, Morris County had to temporarily suspend its homebound vaccination program which commenced during the week of April 5th. The County hopes to resume homebound vaccinations once approval is granted by the CDC, FDA, and NJDOH. Additionally, this pause will not affect Monday’s COVID-19 vaccine eligibility expansion to all individuals 16 and over. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and take care.
