HeraldReviewMedia's video: The Daily Chirp: Registering For The Moderna Vaccine - Online

Good morning, it’s Tuesday December 29th and this is The Herald Review’s podcast, the Daily Chirp. We’re excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories, events in the community, local history, sports, and more. Today we’re discussing how you can register for the moderna vaccine. In 1890 the Tombstone mines flooded. And afterwards thousands of people packed up and left town. They sold their possessions, sometimes just for the price of a stagecoach ticket. Others loaded up horse drawn wagons, and moved on to the next mining boomtown like Pearce, Courtland, Gleason or Bisbee. Today’s history was brought to you by Benson Hospital. They’re doing more than treating illnesses in Benson, they're building a healthier community. Benson Hospital donated rescue inhalers to Cochise County Schools to help keep kids healthy and out of the ER. To learn more, visit their website at bensonhospital.org. Last week, Associate County Administrator Sharon Gilman announced that healthcare workers, residents and staff at nursing homes, and first responders who have not yet registered to receive the Moderna vaccine can now do so online. The director of Cochise Health and Social Services, Alicia Thompson said that people can register now - and when their phase comes up they’ll have access to locations where they can be inoculated.  If you’re not sure what phase you’re eligible to receive the vaccine, don’t worry - the questions in the registration process will automatically put you in the right phase. Cochise Health and Social Services, or CHSS is partnering with over 30 healthcare providers who are registered to administer the vaccine.  As they get more doses of the vaccine, they’ll open up phases. And right now, they’re actively working to get as many dosages as possible. The first group to be vaccinated are the frontline healthcare workers, emergency service personnel, staff and residents at nursing homes. The group also includes staff of homeless shelters and food kitchens. Phase 1B is next, it’ll include vaccinations for law enforcement, firefighters, correction officers, teachers and childcare staff, utility workers, and any health care workers not included in Phase 1A. It will also include high risk adults in congregate settings such as group homes and homeless shelters. Then comes Phase 1C which is for people older than 65, and people with high risk medical conditions like diabetes, kidney, heart and lung disease, asthma and obesity.  Later, plans for Phases 2 and 3 include setting up drive-thru immunization clinics throughout Cochise County. While this news is exciting, Thompson stressed that it’s important for everyone to continue to be diligent about wearing masks properly, washing their hands and staying a safe distance from others.  Want to stay up to date on what’s going on?

Despite having won just one game in his first year as head coach of the Blue Devils, Gilbreth has been honored as the 1A South Coach of the Year. It’s especially impressive considering more than 90 percent of the time the coach of the year award goes to the section championship coach. This year, Valley Union was not in the running for the sectional title. Gilbreth said that it’s always nice when hard work is noticed, and that it really was a team effort. Their number one goal was to improve in the classroom, and hard work paid off - on the last game they had 100% eligibility. That was the first time in a while that’s happened at Valley Union during football season, and Coach Gilberth’s contributions to helping these boys grow into young men cannot be overlooked. Bisbee native Francine Powers has a new book. It’s called Haunted Bisbee. In it, she explores the part of the city’s history that extends beyond the records in old newspapers and history books. Powers focus on the city’s paranormal history and chronicles a handful of stories. She combines personal accounts, popular stories, and historical records.
