It was very interesting for me to read this article. Thank you for it. I like such topics and everything connected to this matter. I would like to read more soon.
This is good news for all those in the high-risk groups who no doubt were worried about their inability to get vaccinated. This public clinic should have been held the first time we received the vaccine, rather than be given away, but, better late than never. While Ms. Henderson may have had justifiable reasons for giving the vaccine away, and outside of Dartmouth, I wonder if she understood how the residents must have felt upon hearing that? We really weren't given much explanation, other than being told there was little to be given out, and Dartmouth doctors appeared to be in pretty good shape with their own supply. Still, I know many people who were concerned, and who had not yet been able to get vaccinated either by their own doctor or at a clinic.
Thank you, Ms. Henderson, for using whatever the amount of vaccine you have again received to assist Dartmouth's residents. However far the amount goes, whomever registers in time before the supply is depleted, will receive his or her shot, and that is all that can be asked for. You do what you can with what you are given, and I think Dartmouth residents understand that. There is their need to trust our officials to act in their best interest, after all. Although with the sketchy explanation given, we may not have gotten the complete picture the first time around, it should be understandable that residents would be upset upon hearing the vaccine was available, but not given out. Now that has been remedied this second time, and I am sure residents in need of the H1N1 vaccination are much appreciative and relieved at their opportunity to receive it.
