Dear Senator Phil Gramm, Free innoculations for all children is a wonderful objective for the health and welfare of our nation.
Prevention is one of the best ways to offset the increasing expense of our health care system.
However, there is something that I think that you should be aware of. Our Chamber of Commerce has been allowing the Department of Health to use our meeting room, free of charge, once a month for immunization clinics where free or reduced fee innoculations are given. Approximately 1,200 children are immunized a year. Mabank is a small town with limited funds. We have no choice but to notify them that our facility is no longer available for free or reduced fee innoculations.
