V. OLD BUSINESS
a) Flu shot clinic results —
The number of flu shots given at the community clinic was way down. Many
think that it was due to the availability of the vaccine. Commissioner Gould thought it
may be due to people's lack of confidence in the H1N1 vaccine which was part of the
mix. Commissioner Gould indicated that Cook County did not hold any clinics in
2010 and probably will not do any in 2011. As the flu season approaches we will
discuss if it is feasible to hold a community clinic. Ironically the employee flu shot
program showed an increase.
b) Electronics event results were discussed.
c) Program updates:
1. CFL Bulb & Battery Recycling Programs
2. Medicine Disposal Program
Commissioner Kersky suggested that we notify the local
pharmacies that we dispose of old medications, as pharmacies can not take
back any prescriptions. Peggy Starczowski said she would follow up on that.
3. Sharps Collection/Disposal—discussed.
4. Farmers Market—discussed. Most members had been to it and thought it
was a success.
VI. Questions/Comments None
