Guest guest Posted April 5, 2000 Report Share Posted April 5, 2000 We have had several articles written in the last few days concerning vaccines here in Colorado. Debra Melani with The Boulder Daily Camera wrote a good article April 3, 2000 - Sharp Division- www.thedailycamera.com/healthfitness/. National Institutes of Health sent a Dr. Robbins to speak in Boulder . Also, the big chicken pox vaccine push is on. Chicken pox shots are required starting July 1, 2000 in Colorado. Jane Norton, Executive Director of the Colorado Health Dept. held a press conference at the capitol yesterday. They used a class of kindergarten kids as props. The kids had tee-shirts and red fake pox stickers on their faces. The duck on the tee-shirt looks like the duck that I've seen in Merck advertisements. Articles in the Rocky Mountain News and The Denver Post are available on line at: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/0404pox2.shtml http://www.denverpost.com/news/leg/leg0404d.htm HB 1023 (tracking bill) has been amended and is still hung up in the house and has not come to a vote by the full house yet. Gorman with the Independence Institute wrote an issue paper on tracking systems and HB 1023 that is available at http://www.i2i.org/SuptDocs/Backgrounders/2000/Immunization.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
