to see all dates, information or
to register for a test or a vaccine.

Vaccinations provided by Jackson County Health Department.

MONKEY POX
Monkeypox is a rare but serious disease causing illness, including a rash or sores (pox), often with accompanying flu-like symptoms.
Most cases in the U.S. have been mild to date, though the infection can be painful.

There is one reported case in Eastern Jackson County, Missouri. There are four cases in the Kansas City Metro area and 1 in Johnson County Kansas.
The following precautions are important:

How it spreads:
- Direct contact with infected lesions, rashes, scabs, or fluids
- Contact with contaminated materials like clothing or linens
- Respiratory droplets from prolonged face-to-face contact (monkeypox is not thought to be transmitted in the same way as COVID-19)
- Across the placenta to the fetus among pregnant people

Vaccine:
There is a vaccine available to treat Monkey Pox. At this time, it should only be used for post-exposure and on a case-by-case basis.

AUGUST REPUBLIC TRASH AND YARDWASTE PICKUP
Friday 8/26

AUGUST PICKUPS WILL BE:

August Pickups All Fridays 26

LOOKING AHEAD,
The first trash pickup in September
will be on Friday, 9/2.

SINCE LABOR DAY is 9/5 and is one of the six days that Republic recognizes as vacation days for its employees.
Therefore, you guessed it, trash service will be delayed one day the first full week in September.
Republic WILL NOT pick up trash in Sugar Creek on 9/9, but WILL pick up trash on Saturday 9/10.

It feels like fall.
Celebrate at your favorite Sugar Creek Restaurant or order take out.

ENJOY!
