Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 (feel free to forward) Today parents and grandparents of children with autism, along side Nassau and Suffolk County Legislators, held a press conference on the steps of the Nassau Co. Legislative building in Mineola, New York to announce a new bill that will require Nassau Co. facilities that dispense vaccines, including NUMC, be entirely " mercury free " in the near future. At the press conference, Leg. Altmann stated that Nassau County has already ordered their supply of vaccines for this upcoming flu season, but they will " send them back " and get Thimerosal-free vaccines instead. This was a great moment for the children of Nassau County. Please visit my website to see photographs from the event: http://www.lighthousestudios.info/NassauJuly06.html Again, very proud to be a Long Islander. The county legislators here " get it " and care enough about their citizens to go public with the truth. Sincerely, Zichittella-Heeren NAA Long Island President Long Island Autism Fair & Conference Coordinator christine@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
