Thank You: Thanks to volunteers By MARIA PEINADO, Imperial County Public Health Department

On Dec. 19 the Imperial County Public Health Department hosted an H1N1 drive-through flu clinic at the Imperial Valley Expo in Imperial. More than 2,000 individuals received a flu shot at this event during a three-hour time period. This was the third drive-through clinic that has been held in Imperial County and the one that has served the largest number of individuals so far.
The Public Health Department would like to take this opportunity to thank all the agencies that assisted with materials and individuals that volunteered their time at this event. Flu clinic volunteers assisted as vaccinators, traffic control staff, stagers and support staff. California Highway Patrol staff offered child safety seat inspections at no cost to interested individuals who attended the clinic.
We thank you all for giving us your Saturday and your personal time to help the community receive their flu shots. Public Health could not have done this without your much needed assistance: El Centro Regional Medical Center, Pioneers Memorial Healthcare District, Clinicas De Salud Del Pueblo, the Naval Air Facility, Imperial County Medical Reserve Corps, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members, Imperial Fire Department, City of Imperial, Imperial Police Department, California Highway Patrol, March of Dimes, American Red Cross/San Diego-Imperial Chapter, Imperial Valley College, Imperial Valley Expo, County of Imperial Public Works, Caltrans and all other community and student volunteers.
