Wingham Hospital
offers vaccine to staff
The Board of Governors of
Wing ham and District Hospital
has agreed to pay the cost of
immunizing employees - deemed
by the hospital's medical advisory
committee to be at risk - against
hepatitis.
At its regular December meet
in gtheboa rd gave approval to a
recommendation of the medical
advisory committee to supply
Hepatitis B vaccine free of charge
for any employee considered at risk
- mainly, those whose jobs expose
them to blood or body fluids.
Dr. Marie Gear, while making
the committee’s recommendation,
said that at some time ago, the
board had authorized the free
immunization of all staff in the
operating and emergency rooms as
well as laboratory and ambulance
personnel. However, others were
also at risk and should receive the
vaccine free of charge as well, she
said.
Executive Director Norman
Hayes told the board approximate
ly 130 employees would likely be
found at risk by the medical
advisory committee and he esti
mated the cost to immunize the
group at $13,000. However, he
pointed out the figure was substan
tially lower than the $20,000 or
more it would have cost before a
newer, less expensive vaccine
from Quebec became available.
“Certainly, we can find the
money now that the price has come
down substantially,’’ he said.
“I think the medical advisory
committee is going to have to look
ateveryjob in the hospital and then
decide who is at risk,” Mr. Hayes
said.
Dr. Gear agreed and added that
the vaccine will be offered to
anybody who is at risk.
Board Chairman Mary Lou
Thompson questioned whether the
program is a ‘‘once in a lifetime”
injection or if booster shots were
required. Although boosters are
required, Dr. Gearsaiditis not
certain at this time just how often
they mustbe taken, perhaps five or
even 10 years is possible.
However, by that time, she
added, the vaccine could even be
supplied by the Ontario Ministry of
Health.
Dr. Gear also reminded the
board it could be facing a similar
decision in the future. “Ifthere
ever is a vaccine against AIDS,
then you are going to be faced with
the same request again,” she said.
‘‘It’s a job-related disease.”
Letters to Santa
DEAR SANTA,
1 would give dad an airplane so
that he could go for rides in it. To
my mom, I would give a turbo race
car so I could have it some day.
To my sister I would give a
Cricket doll so she won’t bother
me. To my grandma I would give a
swan for an ornament.
