The DOH hosts an annual distribution event every summer. Chester and Montgomery counties will also hold distributions on August 23 and 24.
“Emergency preparedness is a critical part of public health, and that includes ensuring residents living and working near active nuclear facilities know what to do in case of an emergency,” said Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen.“Radiological emergencies are extremely rare, but when they do happen, it is important to have potassium iodide tablets on hand. The tablets should only be taken in the event of a nuclear emergency and when instructed to do so by state health officials.
