LEICESTER — Public Health Coalition meeting proceeds without quorum; action on vaccine program deferred. Only three of eight representatives attended the May 5 meeting, preventing formal action on a First Amendment to the Intermunicipal Agreement. Regional Health Director Mishel Caisapanta proposed a pilot Homebound Vaccine Program with Hardwick Board of Health support, though a Central Foundation of Worcester funding application was not selected.
Caisapanta agreed to follow up on a revolving account from the early 2000s for health clinic and vaccine programs. Regional Public Health Nurse Sandra Knipe reported on community baby shower support and TB case management in Barre.
