The Vernon County Board of Health voted unanimously March 11 to approve the Vernon County Health Department s Vaccine Policy and Procedure. Frank Easterday moved for adoption, Lonnie Muller seconded, and the motion passed on an all-aye vote.
Health Officer Amy Kleiber told the board the department recently participated in a Vernon County Vaccine Coalition meeting and that coalition leaders requested county management. Kleiber said VCHD plans to apply for up to $2,000 from a Wisconsin Department of Health Services COVID recovery grant to support work on vaccine hesitancy.
The board s approval formalizes the department s current procedures for vaccine handling and administration and came as Kleiber also reported facility improvements to protect vaccine integrity during outages. She said the Erlandson building will receive a generator upgrade and Vernon Health staff will partner with county maintenance staff to maintain proper vaccine temperature and storage during any power interruption.
The action was recorded as a formal motion and vote. No amendments or conditions were recorded at the time of approval. The board set no additional deadlines in the minutes; Kleiber and staff will proceed with coalition planning and the DHS grant application.
