At the request of the State of Delaware, Nemours is providing COVID-19 vaccinations to our community. We hold our vaccination clinics at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children (N/AIDHC) by invitation and appointment only. We do not operate walk-up or drive-in mass vaccination events.

We are asking our associates for assistance with identifying anyone you know who is aDelaware resident age 65 or older and is interested in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine at N/AIDHC. Eligible individuals MUST live in Delaware and MUST be age 65 or older. While we are especially interested in reaching vulnerable or at-risk seniors, we hope to be able to vaccinate anyone meeting these eligibility criteria.

Process:

·         Eligible individuals should complete the survey using the link below, or have someone complete the survey on his/her behalf.

·         Once the survey closes, we will email a scheduling link to everyone on the registration list. 

·         Scheduling is on a first-come, first-served basis. Completing the survey does not guarantee someone an appointment.

·         Anyone who does not secure an appointment will have their name placed on a will-call list and be contacted when additional appointments become available.

Important:

Please be mindful that demand for the vaccine remains higher than the available supply, therefore we have a limited number of appointments available. We ask that you do not publicly share the survey link via social media or with large groups.

Thank you for your assistance protecting our community from COVID-19.

NCC@2050 will replace the New Castle County 2012 Comprehensive Plan update. The 2012 Comprehensive Plan is the current comprehensive development plan, required by the State, serving to guide development and decision-making associated with our community’s built and natural environment.

The County wants to increase the input by county residents.  The County would like local civic associations to make their residents aware of the surveys. Residents can choose between a survey that takes 5-10 minutes or a more comprehensive one that takes 10-20 minutes.

Here are the direct links to the two surveys: 

1. Growing Better Places: New Castle County: This survey is an exercise that will allow you to consider of the benefits and trade-offs of different land use policy decisions.  There are many different approaches that the community could take to guiding expected growth over the next 30+ years. The following exercise includes hypothetical questions, based on real data, that will help us all understand the implications of different amounts and patterns of growth in New Castle County into 2050.  This survey should take around 15-20 minutes. (https://app.maptionnaire.com/en/6636/ )
2.  NCC@2050 Survey 2-key directions: The following survey is a brief survey intended to help prioritize and confirm what we’ve heard thus far as well as provide the opportunity to provide additional input.  This survey should take around 5-10 minutes. (https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/d64fda115da642bcaf58cb816eb4b526)

Please feel free to share the surveys with your friends, neighbors, and social media networks.  Kindest regards,
