Davis School District Deploys Solar Microgrid for 280 Measles Shots as Iowa Cases Reach 12

Davis Community School District used its Mustang Mobile Micro-grid on Tuesday to power a mobile hospital in southern Iowa, aiming to vaccinate up to 280 people during a measles outbreak.
At least 12 new measles cases have been confirmed by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, with evidence the virus is spreading person to person.
Vaccinations were opened to the public and the Amish community, a step the district said it strongly wanted to support as part of the local response.
The solar-powered trailer can run for up to eight hours, and a grant covered 95% of its cost, reflecting its intended role in emergency deployments.
