in the United
- more than any
bacteri-
fatality
is 30 to 40
half of those
deaths are potentially prevent-
able through pneumococcal vacci-
nations.
For adults aged 60 years and
older, the increased risk for teta-
nus was nearly seven times that
for people aged 5 to 19 years and
twice that of people from 20 to 59.
THIS YEAR'S FLU shots,
says Johnson, comprise a triva-
lent vaccine for the U.S. that in-
cludes A/Belling, A/Sidney and
B/Yamanashi strains.
The CDC advises administra-
tion of flu vaccine to anyone 6
months old or older who is at in-
creased risk of influenza compli-
cations due to age or underlying
medical conditions. Those groups
include:
People aged 65 or older.
Residents of nursing homes
and other chronic-care facilities
housing patients of any age with
chronic medical conditions.
Adults and children with
chronic disorders of the pulmo-
nary or cardiovascular systems,
including asthma.
Adults and children who
have required medical follow-up
or hospitalization during the pre-
ceding year because of chronic
metabolic diseases including dia-
betes, or chronic renal dysfunc-
tion, hemoglobinopathies or im-
munosuppression, including sup-
pression of the immune system
caused by medications.
Children and teenagers from
6 months to 18 years old who re-
ceive long-term aspirin therapy
and might therefore be at risk of
developing Reye's syndrome after
influenza.
Women who will be in the
second or third trimester of preg-
nancy during the flu season.
RECOMMENDED FOR im-
munization are people whose
work may involve exposure to pa-
tients with influenza. Johnson
points out that flu can be trans-
mitted to people at risk for com-
plications by folks in these cate-
gories:
* Physicians, nurses and other
health-care personnel in both hos-
pital and outpatient-care settings.
Employees in nursing homes
and chronic-care facilities who
have contact with patients or res-
idents.
Employees of assisted-living
and other residents for people in
high-risk groups.
Members of the households
of people in high-risk groups.
People who provide home
care to people in high-risk groups.
THE PNEUMOCOCCAL vac-
cine, Johnson says, is a one-time-
only dose for most adults.
A second dose is now recom-
mended only for people aged 2
and older who are immunocom-
promised and those over 65 who
were less than 65 when they re-
ceived their first dose.
Booster doses of the innocula-
tions against pneumonia are
needed for children aged 2 to 10
with immune deficiencies, who
need a booster three to five years
after their first dose, and people
aged 11 to 64 with immune defi-
ciencies who need a booster five
years after the first dose. The
over-65s who got their first pneu-
monia shot at under 65 need
another if it has been five years
or more since their first one.
INFORMATION ON the im-
munization program is available
from the health department at
427-9670, Extension 400. The
health department is located at
303 North Fourth Street in Shel-
ton.
From North Mason telephones,

Contracts okayed for work on Skok
The Mason County Commis-
sion took action Tuesday to au-
thorize two contracts related to
bank stabilization work on the
South Fork of the Skokomish
River in the Bambi Farms Road
area.
The first contract approved is
with Kamin Construction of
Shelton for $41,541.50 for the
transport of seven large Douglas
fir trees with attached root wads
from Labar Horse Camp on U.S.
Forest Service Road 2353 to the
Washington State Department of
Transportation storage yard on
Highway 101 in Potlatch.
The trees and root wads will be
used to construct engineered log
jams, reported Rich Geiger, en-
gineering services manager,
who was filling in for County
Engineer Jerry Hauth.
GEIGER TOLD the board three
firms from the county's small-
works roster were contacted but
neither Bob Kimbel, Incorporated
of Shelton nor RG Forestry Con-
sultant of Hoodsport submitted a
proposal. If the trees are stored at
an alternate location on the
Bentz property on Bambi Farms
Road, the cost would be $38,844,
the commissioners were told.
The contract will be paid for
with $35,000 in special state ap-
propriated money for gravel re-
moval from the river, funds
which are being held in escrow.
The Skokomish Flood Control
Zone District will fund the re-
maining $6,541.50, Geiger said.
The second contract approved
is with Skillings-Connolly, In-
corporated of Olympia to modify
the scope of work on an existing
contract with the community de-
velopment department for Sko-
komish River flood analysis.
FOR AN ADDITIONAL cost
of $17,440, the consulting firm
will provide an analysis of river
flow characteristics and bank
protection projects on the South
Fork in addition to making
bank protection design recom-
mendations, Geiger explained.
IN OTHER business Tuesday,
the commissioners:
Postponed the award of a bid
tbr painting of the Belfair, Union
and Hoodsport transfer stations
and for the solid-waste transfer
station and office building on
Eells Hill Road until next Tues-
day evening. Only one bid of
$49,873, which came from Root
Painting Company in Hoquiam,
was received.
Community Development Di-
rector Gary Yando told the board
he had solicited bids from a
number of companies but they
were "all tied up at this time of
year." In asking for the addi-
tional time to make his recom-
mendation, Yando said he may
delay the painting projects until
next spring. The estimate by
county staff for the work was
$35,000.
Authorized the closure of
Mountain View Drive from
milepoint .05 to .15, from 6 a.m.
Monday, September 27, to 5 p,m.
Friday, October 1, for a culvert
replacement on Wooten Lake
Creek to enhance fish passage,
APPROVED TWO requests
for the removal of utility ease-
ments. One was from Clifton
and Sharon Moss of Belfair for
lots 14 and 15 in Division 3 at
Lynch Cove. The owners want to
build a carport across the lot
lines.
The other request was from
John and Margie McNeil of
Longview for Lot 101 in Division
2, Block 6 at Colony Surf. The
McNeils want to replace an ex-
isting garage.
Approved a personal cellu-
lar phone agreement for Sean T.
Dodge in the Mason County
Sheriffs Office.
Approved veterans' assis-
tance applications, as recom-
mended by the screening com-
mittee, for three individuals to-
taling $1,200.
