Huron follows Ontario's lead on vaccines The Huron County Health Unit is following Ontario's rec- ommendations about offering seasonal and H1N1 vaccines in phases. Ontario Chief Medical Offi- cer of Health Dr. Arlene King announced September 24 that there will be three phases of providing vaccines. The first phase, in October, is offering seasonal vaccine to people 65 years of age and older as well as to residents of long-term care facilities. The second phase, expected in November, is to offer the H1N1 vaccine. The vaccine is going to be available to whoev- er needs and wants it. Because the vaccine will not all be avail- able at one time, H1N1 immu- nization will be offered first to the priority groups identified by the Public Health Agency of Canada. The third phase, expected in December and January, is to of- fer seasonal vaccines to every- one who is six months of age and over. The Huron County Health Unit is holding seven clinics around the county beginning in mid-October. They will be spe- cifically for seasonal flu vaccine for people 65 years of age and older. The clinics are listed on the health unit's website: www. huroncounty.ca/health and will be advertised in local papers. People 65 and over can also get their free flu shot from their physician's office. Huron County Medical Offi- cer of Health, Dr. Nancy Cam- eron, says it is very important for older adults to get their sea- sonal flu shot. "We know the elderly are Council debates crafts show signange Gerard Crates signal -star staff "Common sense will pre- vail." That was the final word out of council regarding a tempo= rary sign for the Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers Guild's annual craft show at the Huron County Museum. The guild is requesting signs be posted at the small park at the intersection of Highway 21 and Britannia Road as well as at the railway tracks crossing Huron Road. Mayor Deb Shewfelt was notably amused when the item came up for discussion, as in the previous sitting of council, a sandwich board sign was voted down for temporary placement along Victoria Street, north. Councillor Heather Lyons expressed her support for the sign and the sale. "I definitely want to support this activity," she said. "We need to do what we can to get them a permit." Clerk -administrator Larry McCabe advised council the zoning in both proposed loca- tions was not correct for the type of signage. Gail Chrysler, writing on behalf of the guild, informed council that, pending permis- sion, the signs would be erect- ed October 31 and monitored daily until the craft show, No- vember 7 and 8. After some discussion, coun- cil decided to try and find a more fitting location for the signage, with Coun. Hurd add- ing that common sense must prevail. more susceptible to serious complications and hospitaliza- tion from seasonal flu infec- tion," she said. "We very much encourage older adults to get immunized." The health unit will be orga- nizing H1N1 flu clinics when the vaccine becomes available, expected in November.
