AGENT'S REPORT
Flu Season – The budget for the VNA RN was discussed; the board owes the VNA for approximately 45 doses of vaccine @ $10-$11 per vaccine.
Dennis received $482.00 in reimbursement from UMass Med School for the 2011-2012 flu season.
Dennis would like to increase the monies allowed in the board’s revolving account to $3,000. This must be placed on the Town Warrant and passed at Town Meeting.
Sharps – The BOH currently has 2 sharps boxes. Pick up is 2 times per year with a “will call” for $50.00. There is also a potential fuel surcharge. The agreement is for 36 months. Points of discussion:
Best way to advertise to the townspeople - website, FB, senior lunch.
What is an acceptable container for people to bring in their sharps? The best now is a heavy, plastic container; however, plastic covers are not acceptable.
Should the board consider buying approximately 100 smaller containers for people to take home with them and then return to the BOH office when full?
