We were flailing around in here today after the 3 day weekend, so thanks to everyone for their patience if you encountered busy signals or long wait times.
Towards the end of last week, many of the calls were related to all sorts of rashes.
There are a few cases of hand foot mouth.
This week most of the issues were cough and cold related.
We had one positive test for RSV ( a nasty cold that usually shows up in the fall and winter, I will do a post on it for the nurse Judy blog one of these weeks)
We still do not have the injectable flu shots. I will let you know when it arrives.
We are also completely out of the PPD/ TB tests.
There is a nation wide shortage.
I am trying to get some answers from the health department for guidance about this.
Currently the adult immunization clinic on Grove street has a limited supply that they will administer to patients over the age of 13. It is $40 from them.
Stay well,
Nurse Judy
