F T <br /> (Ms. Grady requested an updated cop] of the monthly report regarding <br /> the account balance of the board of health budget. It was agreed that FIs. <br /> Grady would get her copy of the monthly report. <br /> 13. FYI -Flu clinic Schedule <br /> Mr. Harrington began by stating that the flu clinics would be held on <br /> Friday, October 18, 2002 and Wednesday, November 6, 20002, at the <br /> Christ the King Parish Hall from 9:00 to 12:00. He continued by stating <br /> that in total they might get the first allotment even later than October <br /> 18th, 2002, so they would have to postpone that original date. They <br /> calculated that they are only going to end up with 100 shots in the first <br /> round. They are only going to be getting 20% of the 19% of the original. It <br /> only ends up being about 100 shots after the shots are all drawn. They <br /> weren't sure that it was worth having the VNA hold the date. The health <br /> agents have discussed the option of dispersing the vaccines to the <br /> medical doctors that are in the immunization program. Right now it <br /> states that the vaccines have to go to the "class one" people. This group <br /> is rade up of 65 years of age and older or young children with chronic <br /> diseases. if that is the amount they are going to go to a further extent to <br /> male sure that the people who are 65 and older or have some chronic <br /> disease. He felt that at this point it should go to the doctors and let there <br /> sort it out to prove that they have a chronic disease versus us requesting <br /> a letter from the doctor stating that they have chronic disease. They are <br /> going to go to their doctors anyways. They are going to drag the VNA out <br /> for 100 shots? <br /> IVIS. Grady stated than these.people are going.to have to pay to go to-their <br /> doctor. <br /> Ms. Warden asked if she could just say one more thing on behalf of Mr, <br /> Harrington's position in this matter. she stated that they were never so <br /> insulted and sworn at from the seniors who didn't get the shots. They <br /> went to that clinic to try to put some organization into it. They didn't <br /> have enough shots, The seniors where there at 7:00 AM in the.morning, <br /> The program did start until 10:00 AM. They had nothing left by 10:30 AME <br /> They were sworn at and she couldn't believe what people were saying to <br /> them.. <br /> Ms. Carron stated that they called by the dozens and complained as well <br /> in the same manner. <br /> Mr. Darrington added that they were providing a free service. They could <br /> tell the doctors that they can't charge for the shot. <br /> Ms. Grady stated that the shot will be free but they will be charged for an <br /> appointment. <br /> 24 <br /> r <br />
