Chippewa Co. Looking to Add Narcan Vending, Other Services

Chippewa County wants to join the list of counties in Wisconsin with a Narcan vending machine.

The county’s public health department says the public health vending machine would allow people easier access to fentanyl strips and Narcan spray. Both are used to make sure people don’t die from accidentally using fentanyl. The health department’s Hailey Bomar says they are also looking to add condoms to Plan B, hygiene kits, and even toothbrushes. The money for the machine would come from the state.

Bomar said if Chippewa County is approved, the county should see its vending machine by the end of the year.
