During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health Nursing Division was tasked with distribution of Covid-19 vaccines starting in January of 2021. There was a total of 120 clinics in the first 23 weeks of the year, averaging five clinics and 1,658 vaccines administered per week. Large drive-thru clinics were held in four locations, providing administration of 12,244 immunizations. In the spring of 2021, the clinics were moved indoors to the Cape Cod Community College gymnasium, allowing for the successful vaccination of 21,930 individuals. In addition, four large indoor clinics held at the Orleans Council on Aging, Yarmouth Public Safety, the County Complex, and the Cape Cod mall provided vaccinations for 2,042 people. School clinics yielded 1,914 immunizations.

The Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Program (CCRTCP) works with other local public health/prevention entities collaboratively to implement comprehensive substance abuse prevention strategies. The Program offers public education addressing the use of tobacco and other nicotine delivery products, including vaping devices. The CCRTCP also provides annual compliance checks of the County’s tobacco retailers.
