The Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) met today with community representatives from the City, schools, park district, and hospitals to go over plans for conducting H1N1 vaccination clinics in Park Ridge. Early December clinics are anticipated in the schools.
At this time the CCDPH made it clear that volunteers are needed to help bring forth the vaccinations for children in Park Ridge. The CCDPH urgently needs health professionals such as physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and pharmacists to assist with vaccination efforts at the schools.
Volunteers are being encouraged to get more information and enroll by going to: http://www.cookcountypublichealth.org/volunteer
Volunteers can serve only in Park Ridge if they choose to. The lack of personnel to assist with administering the vaccine could affect the scheduling of vaccinations here so it is strongly hoped health care professionals will come forward, said Park Ridge Fire Chief Craig Gjelsten.
