Letter: Immunize at school - Vernon Morning Star

-

After reading and hearing all the news on immunizing against disease, I would like to say, that having grown up in Saskatoon as a child, when you registered for school your parents had to supply an immunization card.

If you were not immunized, you could have an exemption for health or religious grounds. To accommodate this, each school had their own nurse and once a year you received the required shots or boosters.

This process was simple and easy and saved many lives.

Why then can we not start a program like this in these modern days? They did this without any computers.

We also had free dental checkups once a year also.

I for one am tired of everyone taking the safe road. Somebody in a position of authority should stand up and say this is what is going to happen. If not, you can home school.

Also if private schools want to comply then no more public money for the school. The parents can pay full of their children’s education.

Alaska health care giant Providence Health and Services made overtures to the state about taking over management of the troubled Alaska Psychiatric Institute before a lucrative no-bid contract was awarded to Wellpath , a Tennessee-based company that sprouted from the private prison industry, a letter between hospital executives and lawmakers shows. In early February, Wellpath was awarded a roughly $43 million-per-year contract to operate API, the state’s only psychiatric hospital. State officials declared an emergency and circumvented the usual government procurement rules, saying the hospital was unsafe and about to lose federal funding. Ever since, questions about how the deal came together have dogged state health officials. Some lawmakers, like Rep. Ivy Spohnholz, an Anchorage Democrat, have asked why in-state providers like Providence were not considered. “Given that Providence has been operating in Alaska since 1902 and has a proven track record providing in-patient p...
