Monday, Nov 2, 2009 @06:51pm CST
About 125 people in Wichita County will soon have the option to get the H1N1 vaccination. Dr. Dan Bolin treats inmates ... And his private clinic received about 400 doses of the vaccine. He says he realized there would be a big need for emergency responders and jail workers ... and he wanted his doses to be administered correctly. So, he approached Judge Woody Gossom about giving priority to some county workers. This morning, county commissioners decided to give priority to jailers, jail nurses, emergency personnel identified by Sheriff David Duke, and female inmates who are pregnant. Commissioners also decided to offer the vaccine to indigent health care providers in the county.
