On October 28, Governor Patterson issued an executive order declaring a disaster emergency in the state in regard to the novel H1N1influenza pandemic. This order, among other things, temporarily waives certain sections of the State Education Law, thereby allowing certain healthcare providers, Advanced EMT-CCs and Paramedics among them, to administer influenza vaccine (both novel H1N1 and seasonal) at County Health Department-operated “points of dispensing” (immunization clinics, or “PODs”, as they have become known).
The executive order specifically requires that all of these “emergency vaccinators” must receive “training in techniques, indications, precautions, contraindications, infection control practices, and use of personal protective equipment sufficient to provide the basic level of competence for such tasks, as determined by the Commissioner of Health after consultation with the Commissioner of Education”. Per the clarification provided by the NYS EMS Bureau, this training is to be provided by county health departments, utilizing a curriculum provided via the NYS DOH.
While this curriculum has yet to arrive, it is expected this week, and we want to provide the training as soon as possible thereafter so that AEMTs can be used to supplement other healthcare providers at what will be an escalating number of PODs throughout the County (as increasing supplies of H1N1 vaccine arrive over the coming weeks). Therefore, we have scheduled the training as follows:
Wednesday November 18
6:00 until 8:00 PM
Broome County Health Department
225 Front Street, Binghamton
A light dinner will be provided for participants
CME Credit approval from SREMS REMAC is pending
We will also be providing a short overview and training on the SureVent® disposable automatic transport ventilator, which is currently carried on the Broome County Emergency Medical Support (MCI) Trailer.
Please note that attendance at this training does not obligate AEMTs to provide service as vaccinators, but information will provided as to how those who wish to can proceed.
Those who wish to attend this program are requested to pre-register by calling 607-778-2865 and leaving a message for Linda, or by e-mailing FLU@co.broome.ny.us.
