Native Animal Babies 04.05.2021 1100 8 JS

Spring is the season for various mammals to have their babi es, and some of these babi es may get lost from their parent or fall out of their homes, such as opossums.

Amy Redfeather with Native Animal Rescue shares some tips for those looking to help these mammals.

“By all means, please try to put babies back when you can, and if there’s absolutely no nest or no mom, you’re welcome to bring them here. [Native Animal Rescue] So if anyone finds an [injured] opossum that they’re squeamish about getting the babies out or even checking the pouch, you can just bring the whole [opossum] here and we’ll do that part for you. You don’t have to touch anything.”

More information on what to do when discovering an animal in distress can be found online at NativeAnimalRescue.Org or by calling 831.462.0726.

Vax Locator Resource 04.05.2021 0950 6 JS

A new website has been launched to assist with searching for where to get vaccinated.

Dr. Jacob Asher, Medical Officer with United Healthcare explains.

“United Healthcare wanted to help both our members as well as the public navigate the complicated world of obtaining vaccines. We developed a website at UHC.Com/VaccineLocator. Folks can type in their zip code and easily understand what is available in their local area. It asks for your zipcode, and you enter that. The first thing it returns with is your local county, as well as California state-specific information about who is currently eligible for vaccination.”

Dr. Asher advises that the list is always updating, most major pharmacies are also lis ted but may not include all community vaccination clinics such as those at churches.

This resource can be found online at UHC.Com/VaccineLocator
