PPS implementation concerns. 3 counties applied for tobacco monies - outcome unknown. Hardin County did receive all of their flu vaccine - over 63 clinics have been held with 2,500 flu immunizations given. State that there has been an increase in cost with each shipment. Have also shared with nursing homes in area.
Active grant writing in region augmented with collaboration and sharing among agencies continues.
Received all flu vaccine ordered, however, not enough to meet the needs in the community. Region talked about training of local boards of health. Needs to be offered locally as board members cannot get to Des Moines easily. Most of BOH want to do what they are supposed to. They just aren't sure what that is.
