Boost NJ Day this Wednesday, December 15, 2021

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

This upcoming Wednesday, December 15th, marks the one-year anniversary since the first COVID-19 vaccination in New Jersey. To commemorate this day, the state is hosting a special event called Boost NJ Day<https://www.nj.gov/health/documents/Letter%20from%20Governor%20and%20Commis…>, which is encouraging more residents to get a booster shot before the holidays. NJ is currently averaging about 35,000 booster doses each day, but as of December 8th, only 34% of the 4.5 million eligible residents have been administered a booster shot. This past Thursday, December 9th, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, strongly encouraged adolescents ages 16 and 17 to get their booster if they are at least 6 months post their primary vaccination series<https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s1208-16-17-booster.html>. At this time, only the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is authorized and recommended for individuals ages 16 and 17. If you have questions, please refer to the CDC website<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html> and contact your healthcare provider. In addition to the almost 2,000 COVID-19 vaccine distribution locations across NJ, the Morris County Department of Health and Atlantic Health Systems are providing COVID-19 vaccination clinics to Morris County residents. During these clinics, first, second, and booster doses will be provided to individuals ages 12 and older. Although walk-ins may be accepted on a first-come first-served basis, pre-registration is required. The clinic dates, times, and locations are as follows: Thursday, December 16, 2021 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm County College of Morris (Randolph) Student Center Davidson Room D Friday, December 17, 2021 11:30 am to 2:00 pm Community Church of Mountain Lakes 48 Briarcliff Road, Mountain Lakes Tuesday, December 21, 2021 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm Lafayette Learning Center 31 Hazel Street, Morristown A complete list of NJ’s vaccination centers is available online at covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder<https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder>. Feel free to reach out to the NJ Vaccination Call Center at (855) 568-0545 if you need assistance in finding or scheduling an appointment. Have a great week, and take care!

First Reported Case of Omicron Variant in New Jersey

by mendhamtwpwebupdates＠lists.cit-e.net

Friday night, it was reported that the New Jersey Department of Health identified a case of the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) in a traveler to the state of New Jersey who had recently traveled to South Africa. Although there is still very much unknown about this new variant, the World Health Organization (WHO) has designated it a variant of concern<https://www.who.int/news/item/26-11-2021-classification-of-omicron-(b.1.1.5…>. Studies are underway to evaluate the transmissibility, severity, and reinfection risk of the variant. Given the unique signature generated by this variant, PCR tests are able to identify the Omicron variant. To protect against this new variant, the WHO has recommended accelerating COVID-19 vaccination coverage as rapidly as possible<https://www.who.int/news/item/28-11-2021-update-on-omicron>, especially among populations designated as “high priority” who remain unvaccinated or are not fully vaccinated. Statewide, NJ is still registering more than 1,000 new confirmed cases a day, which is being largely fueled by the Delta variant. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to provide updated information on both the Delta and Omicron<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/scientific…> variants. A recent study published in Science Magazine <https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm0620> shows a decline in vaccine effectiveness over time, with vaccine efficacy among a large group of veterans dropping between 35% and 85%. During the Governor’s briefing this past Monday, the NJ DOH Commissioner said that booster uptake will be vital in blunting the impact of this and any other new variant that may occur. Booster doses provide essential additional protection to those with waning immunity, particularly with the Delta variant still having a significant impact in NJ. The state is also actively working to increase vaccination among younger populations. Among children 5-11years old in NJ, 12% have been vaccinated. 27% of those between the ages of 5-17 have completed their primary vaccination series and 38% of 5-17-year-olds have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. There are almost 2,000 COVID-19 vaccine distribution locations across NJ. A complete list of NJ’s vaccination centers is available online at covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder<https://covid19.nj.gov/pages/finder>. Feel free to reach out to the NJ Vaccination Call Center at (855) 568-0545 if you need assistance in finding or scheduling an appointment. Have a great week, and take care!

Please allow up to 48 hours for a response. The Township of Mendham is happy to present our annual Ski/Snowboard program. Our ski club program is open to all children in Grades 6 through 12. This year, the program will continue to take place over six Sundays at Camelback Ski Resort in Tannersville, PA. Transportation & Lift Tickets are included in registration. This program is fully supervised, but we still look for additional volunteer chaperones. Program dates include January 9, 23, 30 and February 6, 13, 27. Departure: 7:00 AM (please arrive at 6:45 AM - busses will not arrive prior to 6:45 AM. Pick up: We depart Camelback at 3:00 PM and arrive in Mendham at approximately 4:00 PM Both Departure and Pick up will take place at 18 West Main Street, Brookside, NJ at the Mendham Township Elementary School. Price for six-week program: $450.00 Please note that this year, there will be ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS AT ALL FOR SKI LIFT PASSES. Mendham Recreation will be purchasing participants two "Triple Passes" through Group Sales. These Triple Passes will be activated on the trip days. Should a child miss a day, the passes can be used on a date that you visit the mountain on your own. Please note, because Triple Passes are being purchased, we will only be able to refund the price of the bussing only in the case of documented injury or illness with a doctors note. Mendham Township & Mendham Borough residents receive "IN TOWN" pricing. There is a $25.00 out of town fee applied to all out of town residents. In the past, I have extended the deadline. Camelback's Day Pass rate through Group Sales has skyrocketed to $70 per day (compared to $50 last year). I have negotiated for them to allow us to purchase Triple Play Passes. I have enough Triple Passes reserved for us to accommodate 170 skiers. After the mountain sells out of Triple Passes, this pricing cannot be accommodated and we will be held to the $70 per day rate. Usually this is around December 1. If you register after December 1, I anticipate the price to go up to approximately $600. So seriously, register EARLY this year. It has not been easy developing a cost-effective plan! There is the option to add on ski or snowboard lessons for $50 per week. These lessons are 90-minute lessons provided by the Camelback staff. Additional Notes: A Power of Attorney Form (which must be notarized) will be required once registrations are processed. This will only be used in the event of an emergency and a parent/guardian or emergency contact cannot be reached. This form will be made available at a later date during a parents meeting in early December. We are asking that each person contribute and additional $5.00 in cash for gratuity to the bus driver. This comes out to be $1.00 per week. Please bring the $5.00 when dropping off the notarized Power of Attorney Form at a date to be announced. Seal it in an envelope with the participant's name written on the outside. Correspondence All correspondence will be done through Message Manager in Community Pass. Please ensure that your CELL PHONE and EMAIL ADDRESS are correct in the Family Homepage as text and email alerts will be sent. THIS IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO REGISTER ONLINE TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH COMMUNITY PASS! Equipment Rentals In order to save time and money, by selecting "Agree" you agree to renting equipment for the full season and bringing it to the bus drop on the day of the trip. (Rentals are available locally through Pelican Sports Center, 2980 Route 10, Morris Plains, NJ 07950.
