MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH September 28, 2006 Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by Anne Miles Cassell 8 September 28, 2006 Durham County. 2. Comprehensive Plan Process The Board developed and submitted comments on the draft Comprehensive Plan Process late this summer along with many other advisory boards. The Board of Commissioners will be considering the next steps to this process in early October. The Planning staff shared the these comments with a staff group late last week in preparation for submitting them to Commissioners. These comments were presented to the Board of Health as information. Commissioners will not be providing their input or making a decision until sometime in October. There is no lead role identified for any of the elements for the Board of Health or the Health Department. 3. Community Flu Vaccination Plans Wayne Sherman reported that the Community Services Staff have been planning for the community flu vaccination clinics for the past few weeks. Plans are to have two primary events. The Department will be testing parts of its mass medication dispensing plans, especially the "just in time" training and the use of volunteers more extensively than in the past. It is offered as a training opportunity for school nurses as well. The plan will test the capacity of the SHSC site to handle a large number of clients through this clinic and be utilizing all of the meeting rooms as well as the clinic space. The Department anticipates receiving 3,500 doses of injectable vaccine and 50 doses of Flu Mist this year. The clinics are scheduled as follows: November 4, 2006 CW Stanford Middle School Hillsborough From 9 am -1 pm or until vaccine runs out November 11, 2006 Southern Human Services Center (SHSC) From 9am -4 pm or until vaccine runs out The approved fee for each vaccination has been established at $28 this year, however, due to slightly reduced vaccine costs, the price will be reduced to #25 to be more in line with other community providers.
