County health nurse requests $2,500 for RSV doses to meet Vaccines for Children requirement
Summary
Health Nurse Eva Kerr asked the board to allow purchase of five RSV vaccine doses totaling $2,500 so the county can participate in the Vaccines for Children program, noting the purchase is now mandatory though no RSV cases have yet been reported locally.
County Health Nurse Eva Kerr told commissioners she visited Martinsdale Colony on Aug. 15, 2025 and administered vaccinations to nine children and that the county currently serves five Homemaker clients and two Respite clients. Kerr told the board she "noted the need to purchase RSV vaccine doses totaling $2,500 for five doses" to participate in the Vaccines for Children program and said the county did not acquire the vaccine last year but participation is now mandatory.
Kerr reported she has not yet encountered any pediatric RSV cases this year. The request was entered into the meeting record for the commissioners' information; the transcript does not show a separate vote or appropriation for the vaccine purchase.
