DCHD releases statement on Pfizer-BioNTech booster vaccination Vaccination clinic at County Fairgrounds to re-open Oct. 13

CDC recommends: • people 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings should receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, • people aged 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, • people aged 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks, and • people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting may receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months after their Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, based on their individual benefits and risks.

DuPage County has developed a robust network of vaccination sites throughout the county. Individuals

who are eligible for the booster dose can visit www.vaccines.gov and enter your zip code to find a vaccine provider near you. This vaccine tool allows individuals to search by location, vaccine brand/manufacturer, and appointment availability. You may also talk to your healthcare provider about how to get the COVID-19 booster.

DuPage County Health Department Executive Director Karen Ayala added her own remarks.

“It is important to understand that fully vaccinated individuals still retain high levels of protection against the most serious outcomes related to COVID-19, and that there is NOT an urgency to receive the booster dose.

Vaccine supply of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is robust currently and with over 200 vaccine providers in DuPage County alone, individuals will not experience the challenges for this dose that were present at the outset of vaccination efforts earlier this year.”

As the DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) prepares for the reopening of its mass vaccination clinic on Wednesday, Oct. 13 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds location, DCHD will also begin offering a limited number of COVID-19 vaccine boosters at 111 N. County Farm Road in Wheaton and 1111 E. Jackson Street in Lombard to eligible residents by appointment only beginning on Oct. 1.

For any booster vaccine doses offered by DCHD, opportunities are available by appointment only and advance registration is required. Individuals who are currently eligible for a booster shot and previously registered on the Health Department’s vaccine site will receive an email notification with instructions on booking an appointment. Individuals not yet

registered who are seeking a booster dose should register for appointment notifications at www.dupagehealth. org/covid19vaccine or call (630) 6827400 if assistance is needed with registration (e.g., no internet or computer access, need language assistance, or have questions).

Many of the people who are now eligible to receive a booster shot received their initial vaccine early in the

vaccination program and will benefit from additional protection. However, the Health Department continues to prioritize vaccination efforts on reaching the unvaccinated, who are at greatest risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death due to COVID-19 infection. Currently, DCHD estimates there are approximately 90,000 DuPage County residents who have not yet received any vaccination to pro-

tect them from COVID-19, in spite of being in the eligible population.

All three COVID-19 vaccines available in the U.S. continue to offer protection against COVID-19 and are safe and highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death.

More information is available at www.dupagehealth.org/covid19vaccine.

On Friday, Sept. 24, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky has endorsed the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) recommendation for a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in certain populations and also recommended a booster dose for those in high risk occupational and institutional settings. The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) authorization and CDC’s guidance for use are important steps forward to help end the pandemic.

All-Conference Warriors

The Willowbrook boys golf team battled in last week’s West Suburban Gold Conference Meet at Prairie Bluff Public Golf Course in Lockport. The Warriors placed fourth out of seven teams in the meet, which took place on Sept. 21. Willowbrook posted a team score of 332. Junior Vince Guajardo turned in the Warriors’ best individual effort by firing an 18-hole score of 81 on the par-72 course. Guajardo finished ninth in the meet’s individual standings. Senior Dom Faillo and junior Nick Chivilo both provided scores of 82, while junior Brett Vandergrift shot an 87 to complete Willowbrook’s scoring lineup. The photo show the trio of (left to right) Chivilo, Guajardo and Faillo after last week’s event. All three of the pictured Warriors earned All-Conference honors with their performances at the conference meet. Willowbrook is competing in this week’s IHSA Class 3A regional at St. Andrews Golf and Country Club in West Chicago.

Attempt to set a new record falls short Saturday’s Paws and Claws in the Park animal adoption event at Villa Park’s Lions Park included an attempt to set a new mark in Guinness World Records history. The Villa Park Community F.U.N. (Focus on Unifying Neighbors) Commission organized the effort to try to hold the world’s largest dog wedding ceremony at Saturday’s event. Claire Elise Stephens, a Guinness World Records adjudicator, traveled from New York to observe the attempt. Stephens

is pictured (bottom left) while she announced if the Villa Park ceremony had set a new record. A 2007 event in Colorado that included 178 pairs of dogs established the record for the largest dog wedding ceremony. Saturday’s attempt in Villa Park, which featured 80 pairs of dogs, fell short of setting a new record.

The participants included (above, left to right) Cris Poggi of Villa Park and her daughter—Valentina Poggi.

Valentina is a Willowbrook High School graduate. She graduated from Elmhurst University earlier this year, and is now attending the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where she is studying veterinary medicine. The Poggis are pictured with (left to right) Blue and Stella. Another photo (left) from Saturday shows Villa Park Village President Nick Cuzzone, who dressed in a tuxedo to preside over the light-hearted wedding ceremony. Also pictured (below) is Villa Park Community F.U.N. Commission Chair Leslie Allison-Seei, who spearheaded Saturday’s attempt to set a new world record.

Willowbrook’s girls volleyball team improved its overall season record to 18-0 with last week’s 25-8, 25-13 West Suburban Gold Conference win over Downers Grove South in Villa Park. The Warriors moved their conference record to 3-0 following their Sept. 21 home victory over the Mustangs.

The Willowbrook football team improved to 3-2 overall and 3-0 in West Suburban Gold Conference play following Friday’s 36-7 victory at Leyden. The Warriors, who began the season with non-conference road losses at Providence Catholic and Downers Grove North, have since won three consecutive conference contests. Junior Joey Tumilty (No. 10) scored three touchdowns for the Warriors in Friday’s victory against Leyden, which dropped to 1-4 overall and 0-3 in the conference. Senior Evan Stubblefield scored one touchdown for Willowbrook, which held a 14-7 halftime lead. Junior Amari Buchanan provided a defensive score for the Warriors when he intercepted a Leyden pass and returned it for a touchdown. Willowbrook will play its homecoming game this Friday against its District 88 rival—Addison Trail. The Blazers will enter the game at 0-5 overall and 0-2 in the West Suburban Gold Conference.

Viewpoint Press conference at Planned Parenthood Health Center in Aurora

By U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi I recently had the privilege to speak at the Planned Parenthood Health Center in Aurora alongside Gov. J.B. Pritzker and U.S. Reps. Lauren Underwood and Bill Foster about our unwavering support of a woman’s right to choose.

As a member of the Pro-Choice Caucus, I am deeply disturbed by the SB8 law in Texas. SB8 bans abortions after only six weeks— when most women barely know they’re pregnant—provides no exceptions for pregnancies from rape or incest, and it creates a bounty hunter system of citizen vigilantes.

We are in the midst of a global pandemic where we have learned the value of healthcare. And yet, Texas has decided to directly target women’s healthcare through an unconstitutional law. The constitution is not a buffet-style menu where a state can pick and

choose the rights it upholds and the ones that it denies. A woman’s right to choose, like all constitutional rights, is federally guaranteed. Last week, the House was scheduled to vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act, which I’m proud to cosponsor, in order to enshrine reproductive health care in law.

I will ensure that this body conducts their study with pure intentions to reduce the waste and mismanagement running rampant in the organ transplant system in the United States and to save the lives of the over a hundred thousand people on the organ waiting list.

My investigation into My investigation into conflicts Facebook promoting of interest in the organ dangerous content targeting transplant industry study women and girls Through my position as chairman I was alarmed by new reports of the Oversight Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, I am working with Rep. Katie Porter to investigate conflicts of interest among members of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) as they conduct a study into the organ transplant industry.

This study is crucial in determining reforms needed for the organ donation system, but we need to ensure that the experts responsible have the right, objective intentions.

My subcommittee has requested documents pertaining to the financial ties that members of NASEM have to the organ procurement industry.

that Facebook knowingly allowed its website to be used for human trafficking and other illegal activities such as organ selling and pornography.

Facebook also has disregarded the impact Instagram has on young girls’ mental health and body image issues. In response to both these issues, I sent a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg asking for information on these two threats on their platform that target women and young girls.

Facebook should not be profiting off this type of content that leaves women and girls at risk of being abused or of worsening mental health issues, and I am committed to this investigation and determining what solutions Facebook can provide.

Raja Krishnamoorthi represents Illinois’ 8th Congressional District, which includes parts of Addison, Wood Dale, Elmhurst, Bensenville, Villa Park and Lombard.

DCHP: Vaccines work at preventing COVID-19 severe illness

COVID-19 vaccines continue to offer the best form of protection against COVID-19 and help prevent severe illness, hospitalization and death, according to the DuPage County Health Department (DCHD).

In DuPage County, 96 percent of COVID-19 cases and 99 percent of related hospitalizations and deaths since December of 2020 have occurred in residents who are not fully vaccinated. The DCHC is again urging eligible residents, ages 12 years and older, to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their community.

“With COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths occurring primarily in unvaccinated persons, it is evident the vaccines are effective at preventing severe illness from COVID-19,” said Karen Ayala, executive director of DuPage County Health Department. “COVID-19 vaccinations help keep our communities safe, our children in school, and protect those who are not yet eligible for vaccination.”

According to the latest CDC COVID-19 vaccination data, 88 percent of eligible residents 12 years and older in DuPage County have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and 70 percent are fully vaccinated.

Of residents 65 years and older, 99.9 percent have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and 85 percent are fully vaccinated.

However, among 12- to 17-year-olds in DuPage County, 78 percent have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and only 59 percent are fully vaccinated.

To help reduce spread in schools and the community, all unvaccinated persons aged 12 years and older are urged to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as possible.

The DCHD is actively monitoring the situation regarding COVID-19 boosters for fully vaccinated people.

Last week, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory committee recommended a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster dose for individuals 65 years of age and older and at high risk of severe COVID-19.

These booster dose plans are dependent on a full clinical review and recommendations provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which was scheduled to conduct this review on Sept. 22-23.

DCHD will share additional updates as more information becomes available.

For more information on COVID-19 in DuPage County, visit www. dupagehealth.org/covid19.

Anyone age 12 or older can find free vaccination opportunities near them by visiting www.vaccines.gov.

No-cost testing is also available; visit www.dupagehealth.org/ covid19testing for more information.

I believe in climate change, no question about it. Every time I watch Tom Skilling’s seven-day forecast on WGN, I notice the climate changes and the temperature changes just about every day. *** Failed politician Jeanne Ives is spreading her divisive and toxic rhetoric on school children and parents in neighboring Glen Ellyn. She and her cohorts are protesting mask use and seem to believe that harassing masked children walking to school is a legitimate form of civil discourse.

Kids and parents have had enough stress without failed politicians and other clueless adults creating a gauntlet of negativity along their

path to school. Thank you. *** I laughed out loud the other day when I heard Joe Biden refer to himself as a capitalist. What a crock!

This is someone who has been living off the public dime for 50 years. *** About the mask and pro-choice comments in last week’s Speak Out. If you lived through World War II and the aftermath, wearing a mask means nothing. Pro-choice is a different story. Since 1973, the U.S. has literally through abortion killed a generation and counting. We are outraged about the shootings in Chicago when people get killed and yet we are killing innocent, defenseless ba-

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

bies on a daily basis. Does that make sense? Think about it. *** Because of COVID-19 and the violence, I have not been to Chicago in more than 18 months. So far in 2021 a total of 2,940 people have been shot in the city. There have been 524 murders so far this year. Sad to say, but more than 30,000 people have been shot in the city during the past 10 years. And 171 people have been shot on the expressways leading to and from the city. So, if you can safely make it to the city, you now have to deal with red light cameras and speed cameras. Speed cameras will fine you for 6 miles over the speed limit. Outrageous! There are so many things to do and visit in one of the greatest cities in the country.

I hope things can change in the city of Chicago, I miss visiting there, but I will not be visiting anytime in the near future. *** I am neither heartless nor uncaring, but how are we going to pay for all the refugees coming here from Afghanistan? I am hoping many churches and world relief services will take that on; Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, all religions.

sure there are no potential evil-doers among them. I also think we need to hold the Taliban’s feet to the fire so that they will “allow” girls to attend school and all women to have an education, life, career, etc. I think it is backwards that the women have to be completely covered in the name of modesty when it is the men who really should be wearing the blinders to avoid “temptation.” *** It sounds like Cook County will now become an abortion hot-bed, with women coming from Texas who can afford to do so. I am pro-life and this is a woman’s personal choice, but I take exception when it is being used solely for birth control and my tax dollars pay for it. And then there’s the termination of a defenseless life to consider. I have actually read some opinions that it is cheaper to pay for someone’s abortion than to pay for that child until age 18. Appalling to place that kind of value, or lack thereof, on a human life. *** To the caller who’s happy to see signs that say support unmasking the kids, will you please call back, or one of your supporters, and be specific to state what science you have to back up that statement?

Never Known to Fail

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed mother of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother.

Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to answer me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power.

Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3xs). Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal, you who gave me divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me, and that in all instances in my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory.

Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine.

The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days, after 3 days the request will be granted.

This prayer must be published after the favor is granted. A.S. 404311
