| Suffolk Co (NY) HHS Meeting on Thimerosal- Part 1 |
 |
On December 14th, the Health and Human
Services Committee met to discuss Res. No.
2477-2006 Introduced by Presiding Officer, on
request of the County Executive RESOLUTION
NO. -2006, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 563-2006,
TO MAXIMIZE IMMUNIZATION RATES OF CHILDREN
UTILIZING SUFFOLK COUNTY HEALTH CENTERS
WHEREAS, the Legislature, by Resolution No.
563-2006, established a policy requiring the
use of mercury-free vaccines for pregnant
women and children age three and under in
County Health Centers; and
WHEREAS, one element of the policy is that
the County of Suffolk will administer
mercury-free vaccines in its health centers
and facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control
considers vaccines containing less than two
ten-thousands of one percent (0.0002 percent)
thimerosal to contain trace or insignificant
amounts of mercury; and
WHEREAS, the Centers for Disease Control has
concluded that the risk, to children and
pregnant women, of not receiving
immunizations, exceeds the risk of receiving
vaccines containing trace or insignificant
amounts of thimerosal; and
WHEREAS, patient non-compliance with medical
protocol is a well known problem throughout
the health care industry; and
WHEREAS, using vaccines containing no
thimerosal whatsoever will increase the
number of visits necessary for a child to
receive all immunizations, and thereby
increase the risk that all immunizations will
not be received due to patient
non-compliance, resulting in a decrease in
the vaccination rate of Suffolk County
patients; now, therefore, be it
1st RESOLVED, that the 1st RESOLVED clause of
Resolution No. 563-2006, is hereby amended
and replaced with an amended RESOLVED clause
that shall read as follows:
***** 1st RESOLVED, it shall be the policy of
the County of Suffolk to make available upon
request of any pregnant woman, the parent of
a child age three and under, or other person
legally responsible for such child
mercury-free vaccines in its health centers
and facilities; and be it further
*****and be it further
2nd RESOLVED, that administration of
vaccines containing trace or insignificant
amounts of thimerosal shall comply with
Resolution No. 563-2006; and be it further
3rd RESOLVED, that this Legislature, being
the lead agency under SEQRA and Chapter 279
of the Suffolk County Code, hereby determines
that this resolution constitutes a Type II
action.

| There's a TORNADO outside my house in Suffolk, Virginia! |
 |
HOLY CRAP! This happened right in front me! I
know this incident is just a little pinch
compared to the other locations where the
tornado touched down..
It was really cool to also see in person how
the tornado clouds circulated right above
me..
I've only lived for about a month in my new
place, and i was deathly scared that it was
going to go through it. By instinct, the best
thing we did was drive away from the area,
but we turned around because we thought we
were going 'into' the storm, so we drove the
other way around, but to find out that the
damage had already occurred! And thankfully
it was a small amount.. and thank God that he
spared the homes in my area.
