Board of Health weighs reopening VFC clinic as same-day flu-shot order deadline looms
Summary
Board members discussed reopening the Vaccines for Children (VFC) clinic and whether Dolores County can operate the program without Montezuma County's director. The board noted a 12:00 same-day deadline to order remaining flu doses and agreed to confirm vaccine availability and who will place orders.
Members debated whether to resume local VFC clinic services if Montezuma County will not support the director role. Speaker 2 told the board, “We just need to order the flu shots and set that back up,” and the group discussed practical steps to place vaccine orders and whether a waiver or director designation would be required to order for Dolores County.
Board members agreed there was no immediate requirement to re-open the clinic that day but that the 12:00 deadline to order remaining flu vaccine doses made it prudent to confirm ordering capability quickly. Staff were assigned to check vaccine-order status and contact Mallory and Bobby for operational clarification before the ordering cutoff.
