Board schedules flu clinics, approves payroll, permits and routine invoices
Summary
The board scheduled flu clinics with the public health nurse, noted COVID vaccines are now private-pay, approved payroll for the health agent, reapproved a one-day permit for 'Katie Cakes' contingent on quarterly checks, and approved routine invoices.
The Town of Blackstone Board of Health informed residents that flu clinics will be scheduled with the public health nurse and that the town has influenza vaccine available for those clinics; board members said they will schedule at least one evening clinic and advertise dates on social media and the town website.
"We have vaccine available for the flu clinic," Speaker 3 said, and Speaker 3 and others discussed coordinating with Maggie (the public health nurse) and Trish for school and evening clinics. Speaker 3 also noted the COVID vaccine is now private-pay through pharmacies: "No COVID. COVID is, private pay now," Speaker 3 said, indicating the state is no longer providing free COVID vaccine at town clinics.
On routine business the board approved payroll for the health agent for the pay period covering 8/25/24 through 9/7/24 by voice vote. The board reapproved a one-day permit for a vendor called 'Katie Cakes' for a Sept. 15 event at Wojeck's farm, contingent on a quarterly recheck. The board also approved payment of invoices, including charges from Republic Services and SD Inspections.
The board asked staff to post clinic dates and provide ample public notice. Staff said they would report back to the board with scheduled dates and coordination details.
