Regular meeting of the Monson Board of Health was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Dr. Richard Smith. Members present: Gary Allard and Phyllis Klick. Members absent: Jane Jacobs and Margaret Harrison.
The Board signed the bills and necessary correspondence.
The Board read and reviewed the Minutes of March 3, 2010. Mr. Allard moved to accept the minutes as presented, seconded by Dr. Smith and so voted.
The Board discussed a request by Annie Weulfing at the Senior Center. Ms. Weulfing asked the Board to please consider discussion of possible shingles shots for the seniors. She had been approached by Tom Amaral at Merck. Mr. Amaral had called the Board of Health office several weeks ago on this issue, and Ms. Harrison was in contact with him. Unfortunately, Ms. Harrison could not attend this evenings meeting; therefore, this will be discussed at the next meeting when Ms. Harrison is present.
