The Owen Sound Police Service is pleased to announce the launch of TEXT with 9-1-1 (T9-1-1), a new service that provides the capability for the deaf, deafened, hard of hearing or speech impaired (DHHSI) community in Canada to communicate with emergency 9-1-1 services. This service is now available in Grey and Bruce Counties, Wingham, Aylmer, Port Hope and Dryden area.
TEXT with 9-1-1 service allows members of the DHHSI community to call 9-1-1 during an emergency and converse with a 9-1-1 operator using text messaging rather than by voice. Specialized software will allow the 9-1-1 communications staff to recognize the call as coming from a registered phone, associated with the DHHSI community, and text back and forth with the caller to address the emergency. There will be no need for a caller to be able to speak or hear.
An unimmunized child from Grey Bruce has been diagnosed with tetanus. This is the first recorded case of tetanus in Grey Bruce. The child has been hospitalized, in critical condition.
Tetanus vaccine is routinely administered in combination with vaccines against diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and Haemophilus influenza type b to children at 2, 4, 6, and 18 months of age. Completion of the primary series provides more than 99% protection. Booster doses of tetanus vaccines are given at 4 to 6 years of age and 14 to 16 years of age. A booster dose is recommended for adults every ten years for continued protection.
