Dear fellow Hanoverians:
No H1N1 flu clinic can run without volunteers! Please respond by Monday,
January 11, 2009 @ 12:00 noon. The Board of Health has scheduled the third
H1N1 Clinic for Thursday, January 14th at the South Shore Vocational
Technical High School. The clinic will be open to the public from 5:00 p.m.
– 7:30 p.m., is open to anyone, and is not limited to Hanover residents.
As before, there are many, many areas in which we will need help, including:
Nurses – Needed in a variety of areas:
1. Vaccinators
2. Vaccination recorders – these will work in
pairs
3. Screeners
4. Vaccine inventory
5. To pre-fill syringes
Nurses – will be provided with information concerning their
professional liability protection as
well as copies of the Model Standing Orders, signed by the
Board of Health’s physician of record,
which provide the standards for H1N1 vaccination.
Support Staff – Needed in a variety of areas:
1. Greeters
2. Runners
3. Registration
If you are willing and able to help, it would mean: Nurses arrive at 4:00
p.m. and Support Staff arrive 4:15-4:30 p.m. to receive orientation in the
position you are assigned. Walkie Talkie instructions will be provided by
Hanover’s Emergency Agency for those positions requiring communication with
other areas of the Clinic.
Food, water and soft drinks will be provided.
If you can help, please respond to
health@hanover-ma.gov before Monday, January 11th by 12:00 noon. Indicate
your hours of availability and preferred duty. Schedules will be determined
to ensure smooth clinic flow. Nurses must show their Massachusetts Nursing
license the day of the clinic.
Thank you in advance and I will look forward to working with you.
