Immunization Clinic during Frontier Emergency Dispensing
Site Drill |
| Description |
During National Influenza Vaccination Week, the towns of
Deerfield, Conway, Sunderland, and Whately are incorporating
the dispensing of flu shots to adults and FluMist to
children into our Emergency Dispensing Site Drill (EDS) on
December 1 from 10am-1pm. This is our second year conducting
the drill as a four town cooperative effort. We have
established a close working relationship among the four town
selectmen, boards of health, police, EMTS, and firemen. Our
local Medical Reserve Corps and the Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) serve as the primary volunteers. In
addition, we seek to incorporate town residents as
volunteers to build local capacity. This year members of the
air guard will be observing our EDS Drill in order to
participate in next year’s drill. At our drill we stress to
our participants not only the importance of receiving the flu
vaccine, but that they are aiding us in preparation for a
real emergency event in which the dispersion of vaccine to a
large number of people is necessary. The comfort level that
we gain by all of our various town disciplines working
together to form a familial relationship greatly contributes
to the success of our EDS Drill and enhances the disaster
preparedness plans of our towns. Evaluation will include
debriefing at the drill site with all volunteers and ICS
members and an after action report that will also be
discussed at a follow-up meeting. |
