Hospital Board will talk about COVID vaccine availabiliy

A discussion on COVID-19 vaccine availability and messaging highlights the St. Mary Parish Hospital Service District No. 2 agenda for its monthly meeting Wednesday.
Another item of note is considering amending the board’s engagement of Kolder, Slaven & Co. “from compiled to reviewed financial statement,” the agenda states.
Commissioners also will consider a resolution authorizing execution of the Louisiana Attestation Questionnaire for its annual audit.
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at the Morgan City Court building.

Hospital: Vaccine demand slows, but calls keep coming

The demand for COVID-19 vaccinations has slowed, but the phone still is ringing at Franklin Foundation Hospital.
As of Monday afternoon, the hospital has administered about 5,000 vaccine doses and around 2,500 first doses. All of the hospital’s vaccines have been Pfizer-BioNTech, according to Kevin Romero, the hospital’s marketing/business development and co-director of physician services.
Romero said he thought the Louisiana National Guard doing more public sites and the availability at pharmacies, too, has contributed to less demand at hospitals.
“We feel it’s going to be pushed into the physician offices probably soon and pharmacies. Pharmacies all over are giving them. We’re still doing them, but we don’t know where the future lies with us.”
He said as they have needed supply, it has been delivered.
“We have had no issues with supplies,” he said.
As for the hospitals’ employees, the number of those vaccinated has improved, too.
“We’re easily above 65%, probably, employees that are vaccinated,” he said.
As of Monday’s update from the Louisiana Department of Health, the state crossed the 2 million mark of doses administered. Of that total, about 1.27 million vaccine series have been initiated and 834,087 vaccine series have been completed.
In St. Mary Parish, 14.53% of the population has been vaccinated.
The parish has initiated 11,133 vaccine series, and it has completed 7,515 series, according to the state Department of Health.
Of that number, less than 10% of the population in the ages 18-29, 30-39 and 40-49 groups have been vaccinated.
Romero said the older generation that was in the first group of those offered the vaccine is more likely to take the vaccine without any skepticism because of taking previous vaccines such as for polio and chicken pox.
“I think this generation, this younger than 50 generation, kind of questions everything a little bit more than the older generation,” he said.
Breaking it down by race, 60.25% of the vaccinations in St. Mary Parish were administered to white people, while 31.23% of the shots went to African Americans.
Dr. Gary Wiltz, CEO of Teche Action Clinic, said in a recent KBZE 105.9 FM Facebook recording that his clinics have given 5,196 vaccinations as of March 29, mostly in St. Mary Parish.
Of that number, he said that 40% of those vaccinated have been African Americans.
“We’re very pleased with that group because that was the targeted group.”
Romero said people have different reasons for getting it, such as visiting their grandparents or grandchildren or to travel.
The parish is in Region 3, which has had a 15.91% vaccination rate. That percentage ranks sixth among the state’s nine regions. Region 1, the New Orleans area, leads the state with 22.03% of its population vaccinated.
According to a March 30 Kaiser Health News article, a recent poll is showing that more Americans are becoming convinced to get the vaccine. Of that group, nearly 55% of African American adults said they either had or planned to become vaccinated.
That’s an increase of 14% from a poll taken a month prior. In that same poll, 64% of the white population responded the same as did 61% of the Hispanic population.
Still, 13% of those questioned in the survey said they would “definitely not” receive the vaccine.
For others, it just will take some time for some people to be comfortable getting it, according to Romero.
Attempts to reach an Ochsner St. Mary representative for comment were not successful.

2 million shots: Louisiana passes vaccine milestone

BATON ROUGE – In the four months since the first vaccination against COVID-19 in Louisiana, over two million doses of the vaccines have been administered across the state, the Louisiana Department of Health reported Monday.
Over one in four Louisianans have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and about 17.9% are considered fully vaccinated.
Praise for the vaccine accompanies vaccine selfies and pictures of vaccination cards on social media, and many are encouraging others to get the vaccine as well. “Everyone should go out and get this done!” Thomas G. Voss, Ph.D., posted on Twitter in the week leading up to this milestone. “The life you save could be your own.”
Friday, LSU football fan Zach Rau posted, “If you’re on the fence about vaccination, consider what joys await you in the fall at the tailgate.”
Despite these gains, Louisiana ranks 45th in the nation in the percentage of its population that has received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Sunday. New data from the LSU Public Policy Research Lab could help explain why the state is behind.
According to a survey that the lab released Thursday, a third of Louisiana adults said that they would refuse a vaccine against COVID-19. This figure includes 43% of Republicans who do not intend to receive the vaccine even when they are eligible. They are joined by only 13% of Democrats who do not want the vaccine.
This reticence comes even as health care experts herald the vaccine as the key to ending the pandemic and reopen the economy. In a press conference Tuesday, Gov. Edwards said that one of the best strategies to “win the race” is vaccination in conjunction with masking and social distancing.
While state and national officials have been concerned with racial inequity in vaccine administration among people in minority communities, survey data suggests that mistrust of the vaccine does not fully explain the slow start in equitable vaccination.
In the LSU survey, half of the Black residents who were interviewed reported that they intended to get the vaccine when they can, compared to only 38% of white residents.
Still, black leaders have suggested that access to the internet and appointments remains a barrier to the vaccine for people of color.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris both received the vaccine on live television in December in an attempt to increase public confidence. Former President Donald Trump endorsed the vaccine in March, saying “It is a safe vaccine and it is something that works.” He and former first lady, Melania Trump, received the vaccine in private before leaving office.
Health experts warn about another possible wave of infections if vaccines are not administered widely enough. Dr. Fauci, the chief medical advisor to President Biden and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said: “It’s a race between getting people vaccinated and preventing the surge of cases.”
While some remain hesitant to get the vaccine, the survey also reports that 74% of Louisianans agreed that “requiring people to wear masks in public places is important to reduce the spread of COVID-19. This could be due in part to the fact that 79% of those surveyed know someone who has tested positive, and nearly half know someone personally who died of COVID-19.
Starting March 29, all Louisianans aged 16 and older were eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, joining Alaska, Mississippi, West Virginia, Arizona, and Texas who had already announced similar policies. The change came months ahead of President Biden’s goal of nationwide adult eligibility by the beginning of May.
At the beginning of March, Gov. Edwards announced the state’s move to Phase 3, easing capacity restrictions on most businesses, opening bars in all parishes at 25% capacity, and continuing the mask mandate, which has been in place since last July.
Dr. Joe Kanter, state health officer for the Louisiana Department of Health, said, “Every Louisianan 16 years of age and up has the opportunity to protect themselves and their family through vaccination and bring back the Louisiana we know and love. Let’s not waste a minute.”

Patterson council will take up tax rates, drainage

The Patterson City Council will vote on proposed city property tax rates for this year when it meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.
Flooding and federal COVID-19 are also likely topics of discussion.
A public hearing and possibly final passage votes will be conducted on the proposed ordinances setting the city government’s general-use property tax at 8.3 mills and the tax to pay off the bonds for the new water plant at 14 mills.
A mill is 1/10th cent of tax on every dollar of a property’s assessed valuation. Residential property is assessed at 10% of market value. The Louisiana homestead exemption does not apply to city taxes.
Other proposed ordinances will be the subject of public hearings and possible council votes, including the creation of the Patterson Municipal Cemetery and a clarification of subdivision rules governing “flag lots.” Those lots require the right to access to streets and utilities through another lot.
Also, the money Patterson will receive under the federal American Rescue Plan Act is a possible discussion item.
The early word is that the city government will receive about $2.1 million under the act, a $1.9 trillion effort to provide economic stimulus, hasten COVID-19 vaccinations, and support state and local governments affected by the pandemic.
Merlin Sons of Mike Drive is on the agenda to talk about drainage.
He appeared before the council two years ago to thank the council for drainage improvements and to ask for more.
His home sustained flooding in the April 2019 one-day flooding, and had also seen high water in 2011, 2013 and 2016.
East St. Mary was hit again March 23, when 10 inches of rain fell within hours and caused widespread street flooding.
Among other items on Tuesday’s agenda:
—The council will talk about an ordinance on pit bulls and vicious animals. Resident Joe Louis is also on the agenda to talk about what are described as “dog issues.”
—The council will consider two appointments to the Planning & Zoning Commission.

Bayou Teche flood project nearing completion

The Bayou Teche Flood Control Project is near completion but lacks some finishing touches, the Levee District director said recnetly.
“The Bayou Teche Control Structure at the Charenton Canal is not 100% complete because there are some last-minute items we are working on,” said Tim Matte, St. Mary Levee District executive director.
“It is functional in the sense that if some rogue storm or hurricane happened today, we could actually close the structure without any issues.
“The type of work that remains to be done is typical end-of-project cleanup and getting ready for operations.
“So, it’s basically ready to go. We will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony probably in the month of May.”
He added that the control structure had already served last year as a surge break during Hurricane Delta.
When the barge wasn't finished, but with the flood wall in place, the levee district shoved sheet pile across the opening where the barge would be, and it blocked the storm surge that came up the Charenton Canal, keeping it out of Bayou Teche and away from residents that live and work along the bayou.
“It is ready to go to work,” Matte said of the structure. “If we get a notice that there is a storm that’s coming in our direction, we will be making the preparations to close it, and we are in a position to do so without any long lead time.”
Matte also discussed having joined with St. Mary Parish government and the drainage district to work on the Yokley Canal, and acquiring the land rights around it.
“There is a large number of landowners in the vicinity,” Matte said, “and we are working on going through the logistics of getting right-of-ways from them, and that has unfortunately slowed the project down. But, hopefully we (levee district) will be able to assist them (drainage district) with that pro-ject.”
As for upcoming and continuing projects, Matte reported, “There is a levee south of Franklin that runs all the way to Charenton Canal, which we refer to as the Yokley Levee. It ties in at the Yokley pump station and runs on the south side of the community, almost all the way to the Charenton Canal. That levee was raised by St. Mary Parish in 2019 and 2020 all the way up to a 2.5-foot elevation, and it was probably at a 6- or 7-foot elevation prior to that, and we assisted in that project.”
He continued, “That levee terminates at Industrial Road, the road that passes in front of Metal Shark.
“Our next effort is to take the Yokley Levee and extend it northward to higher ground, to prevent the storm surge from coming over the land at Metal Shark, flowing into the drainage basin that is served by that Yokley pump station.
“What this levee will do is it will pick up at a high point along Industrial Road and run across the waterside of Metal Shark and Gulf Craft, and then tie in to high ground in the vicinity of the railroad track that runs parallel to U.S. 90.”
He went on to say that funds have been allocated by the state for the “Yokley Levee” project in the amount of $3 million.
According to Matte, those funds, along with previously borrowed funds by the levee district, and in conjunction with funds from the parish government will see to the necessities of the project.
He said the planning phase of the project is at 95% completion, and the levee district is working with the Department of Transportation and Development on acquiring permits, as well as they are trying to secure land rights from local landowners in the area.
“It will be a combination of levee and floodwalls,” he stated, “and there will be temporary closures across the area so that Gulf Craft and Metal Shark can still operate and have access to their waterfront. But, if there is an event coming, we will install the temporary gates to keep the water from going into that temporary drainage space.”
He closed by saying that the project will most likely be ready to go to bid over the next couple of months, and will see its beginnings and expected progress occur over the course of this year.
