en get one
dose of the Tdap vaccine (tetanus-diphthe-
ria-pertussis). Children routinely get five
doses of a similar vaccine before the age of
We.
"The immunity from the natural disease
is not life long, lasting only 4 - 20 years, Yu
said. "Immunity from the vaccine has even
less duration of coverage. The Tdap vaccine
has been around for about six years but has
not been widely used until relatively recent-
ly. We recommend a tetanus booster every
10 years and this would replace that booster
dose. If folks have not had a tetanus booster
in the last two years, they are probably not
protected."
Vaccinations are available in Mason
County, but-at a price. A few local pharma-
cies carry and administer the Tdap vaccine
but it costs close to $70. Pharmacist John
Pemberton of Nell's Pharmacy in Shelton
said they are working on getting the proto-
col to carry and administer the vaccine but
do not yet have it. He said some physicians
might not carry the vaccine because of refrig-
eration requirements and overhead costs.
Olympic Physicians of Shelton does not car-
ry it, and Shelton Family Medicine requires
that you are an established patient. An em-
ployee of Shelton's The Medicine Shoppe
said insurance coverage of the Tdap vaccine
is a hit or miss.
"The Health Department is in the process
of getting some vaccines for public clinics
but we do not have them available yet. For
folks who have a new baby, it is important
a wake up call. Pertussis is a vaccine pre-
ventable disease that continues to be pres-
ent in all our communities. This disease will
not go away until enough members of our
community are adequately protected and no
longer vulnerable to the disease."

()n 03/16/2012, the U.S. Marshal Service contacted the Mason County Sheriff's

requirements and that they have reason to believe that INMAN is ttidthg
somewhere within the Shclton area of Mason County. There are multiple warrants
tbr his arrest and several people have seen INMAN in the Shelton area. 1NMAN

by the Mason County Sheriff's Office as a Level 3 Sex Offender because he has
[absconded from his registration requirements. This is the highest level given to a

but call 9-1-1 immediately.
