Update: Five years since Irene

From News Reports

BARRE — Last week, Vermont officials and congressional staff gathered to commend the City of Barre for a comprehensive project that will limit future flood damages to its downtown businesses and residences, and to commit the support of state and federal agencies to similar projects statewide.

The event at City Hall Park came five years after Tropical Storm Irene devastated many communities across Vermont. An official “Commemoration Day” proclaimed by Gov. Peter Shumlin is this Sunday.

Vermont’s villages and downtowns are unique historic, economic and cultural assets.

The state’s long-term economic development strategy is to support reinvestment and growth in and around Vermont’s historic centers – however, many are near rivers or lakes and vulnerable to damage from floods.

Towns like Barre are rethinking how to reduce their future risk by finding ways to give these waterways a little more room to move in places where flooding has occurred again and again.

“Flooding represents one of the most significant and costly threats to Vermont. The effects of damage to businesses, homes, roads and CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Vt. Health Dept. abandons nasal flu vaccine

By Bruce Parker bparker@watchdog.org

MONTPELIER — After years of promoting a convenient nasal spray flu vaccine, Vermont Department of Health officials say the agency no longer stands by the product, despite having spent more than $600,000 on doses over the past three years.

As parents and kids prepare for another flu season, Health Department officials won’t be offering the FluMist nasal spray vaccine following an admission by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the product is useless.

According to the CDC, FluMist, a product manufactured

by Medimmune, a subsidiary of AstraZeneca, stopped being effective for influenza A and B about four years ago. The spray proved to be 3 percent effective, or less, beginning with the 2013-2014 flu season.

Christine Finley, the Vermont Health Department’s immunization program manager, announced the development late last week.

“Each year the effectiveness of the flu vaccine varies depending on how good a match it is to the type of flu strains that circulate during the season, but 3 percent is far too low a level to ensure protection,” she said in a statement.

Despite the spray’s inability to protect against flu, Health Department purchases from Medimmune cost $166,253 in fiscal year 2014, $217,079 in fiscal year 2015 and $230,713 in fiscal year 2016 — a total of $614,045.

The standard flu shot, by comparison, was 63 percent effective against H1N1 during the 2015-16 flu season, and 60 CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

Rutland bookstore welcomes Syrian refugees

By Liz Button

From Bookselling this Week

RUTLAND — Will Notte is using his role as senior bookseller at Phoenix Books in Rutland to educate residents about Syria and its people, following Mayor Christopher Louras’ controversial proposal to let up to 100 Syrian refugees settle in the city.

Notte, who also serves as the president of Rutland’s Board of Aldermen and is strongly supportive of Mayor Chris Louras’ proposal, has set up a book display at the front of the store to provide residents with information about Syria and the plight of its citizens fleeing the Islamic State.

“People have been very excited about the books, and we’ve sold a good amount,” said Notte, who started at Phoenix Rutland when it opened last fall and also works as a freelance editor. “Some people come in specifically because they are looking for information about Syria, while other people come in looking for something else and see the display and are drawn to it.”

Some of the books on display were recommended by Robert Ford, the former U.S. Ambassador to Syria to a local reporter who then shared these titles with the bookstore, said Notte. Children’s books were included in the display “as a way to prep younger kids for the refugees’ arrival,” Notte added.

“Rutland does not have a lot of diversity, so these kinds of books can really prepare them to welcome new classmates who don’t look or sound like them.”

Rutland’s plan to welcome Syrian refugees took root early last year when the mayor learned that the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program was looking for towns, aside from Burlington, that were willing to host Syrian refugees. Mayor Louras consulted with local stakeholders to determine whether Rutland, which has suffered from slow economic growth and a declining population, would have the capacity, in terms of housing and jobs, to take in 100 refugees. Notte, who is in his ninth year on the board of aldermen and his second as president, said he was one of the people Louras consulted and the only member of the board.

When the plan to accept the refugees was announced this April, its opponents, who have coalesced into the Rutland First movement, expressed anger for what they saw as the mayor taking action behind closed doors. The group also cited potential dangers the refugees’ arrival could bring, from terrorism and disease to the cost to the city’s welfare and educational systems. Rutland First sent a letter to the State Department in opposition to the plan and gathered about 500 signatures on a petition requesting a vote by the Board of Aldermen to put the issue on the ballot.

When the vote to put the measure on the ballot failed, one alderman suggested that, as a compromise, the board could send its own letter to the State Department.

Proponents of the refugee resettlement plan have formed the Rutland Welcomes movement, which has organized volunteers and set up food and clothing drives. The bookstore serves as a pick-up point for Rutland Welcomes lawn signs, stickers, and buttons, which people can take with them for a suggested donation to the cause. In addition to the bookstore, said Notte, churches, the local theater group, and other volunteers are working to raise money beyond the federal funds the town would receive for accepting the refugees.

“I want Rutland to be on the right side of history in this… A big part of making that happen is information; it’s letting people, both through fiction and nonfiction, experience someone else’s perspective and, maybe, understand it a little better,” said Notte. “That is where the bookstore can play a large role in easing concerns and increasing empathy, and in bringing this about.”

Notte credits Phoenix Books owners Renee Reiner and Mike DeSanto, who now have a fourth store, in Chester and Rutland store manager and co-owner Tricia Huebner for being willing to tolerate the frequent presence of residents and reporters who visit the store to consult with him in his capacity as president of the Board of Aldermen. They have also allowed a Rutland Welcomes sign in their window. Notte praised Reiner, DeSanto, and Huebner for being “willing to take an ethical stand that may cost them some customers.”

In September, the State Department will announce whether

Creek Road work underway

MIDDLEBURY — Construction is underway at the north end of Creek Road in Middlebury with all sundry traffic turning delays coming to head at the intersection at Court Street (Route 7).

Motorists coming to the intersection of Creek Road and Court Street, currently without a signal light, are at the mercy of Route 7’s unrelenting north and south traffic flow during daytime hours.

When work is completed in September, Creek Road will sport a new subsurface, top, and sidewalk—running along on the west side of the road—to help support the increased automobile and pedestrian activity in the area of the Meadow Creek housing development, the new Middlebury Recreation Center, and the school athletic field.

However, the unpaved portion of Creek Road remains closed south of the VTrans shed due to erosion problems.

A public meeting to discuss the town’s Creek Road Erosion Stability Study will be held Wednesday, Sept. 7, at the Town Offices from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

it will authorize Rutland to take in Syrian refugees. If the plan is approved, Notte hopes the town will be able to begin integrating their new neighbors into the community by December. In the meantime, Phoenix Books will continue to provide the community with a space for dialogue about the controversial issue.

“Some of the people who oppose the plan are quite angry about it,” said Notte. “But since the day of the announcement I have been a very vocal supporter of refugee resettlement. I think it’s the right thing to do morally and I think it’s a positive step in the growth and evolution of the community.”

Voting records made public

B

ack in July, we mentioned here that the Ethan Allen Institute has become an essential component of democracy in Green Mountain State, especially when it comes to learning how your state representative and senator vote during gthe lgislative session.

It used to be difficult to figure out how a legislator votes. But thanks to the efforts of the EAI—and regardless of your political persuasion—our legislative voting records are now easily viewed online on its website.

Elected representatives and senators are often quick to boast about how they voted on popular bills presented under the golden dome in Montpelier, other times they appear to obscure how they voted (or didn’t vote) what little or nothing noted for their reasons.

So, let’s look at samplings of the voting record of Addison County’s two state senators, as an example of the data EAI makes public: •Sen. Claire Ayre voted YES to Legalize Marijuana (S.241), Sen. Chris Bray voted NO. Those voting NO did so on the grounds that this sends the wrong message to Vermont youth while we are in the midst of a greater drug addiction crisis in the state.

•Ayre and Bray voted �yes� in Giving Towns Some Say Over Renewable Energy Siting, But State Maintains Ultimate Control (S.230), YES on this bill agreed to give towns “substantial deference” when it comes to siting renewable energy projects, provided the towns sign onto the state’s vision for renewable energy development and jump through several hoops to qualify for the deference. Those voting NO on the believed it did not go far enough in giving local communities a true veto over the siting of these projects.

•Senators Ayer and Bray voted YES, in March, to approve the $5.8 Billion FY17 Budget (H.875). Voting YES meant a total increase of 2.7 percent over FY16 (not accounting for adjustments that will occur in the next legislative session.) The $1.47 billion general fund portion of the budget, however, increases by 4.8 percent, while revenue is projected to grow at just 2.2 percent. This budget also leaves an estimated $30 million hole for the FY18 budget. Those voting NO argued that continuing the trend of spending taxpayer dollars faster than revenue comes into the treasury is “unsustainable and irresponsible”.

•Both Ayre and Bray voted YES to Repeal Act 46 Spending Caps (S.233), passed 281, Jan. 20, 2016. Those voting NO believed the spending caps were the only cost control measures in Act 46, and should be left in place to put downward pressure on property taxes.

Local commerce

ublishing a free community paper like The SUN, requires us to come in contact with many business sources each and every week as we work to secure income to offset the cost of our overhead.

Two common themes we regularly hear when speaking with local business owners and mangers are a lack of available workers and the ever rising costs of operating a business today.

Local businesses are not alone in this environment. Service companies, government agencies, non-profits and even the big box stores and national restaurant chains have had to adjust to new trends forcing a more watchful eye on every expense Dan Alexander So many things have changed in the past few years that affect Thoughts from business overhead and sadly most of them have not been good.

Behind the Pressline Payroll costs, health insurance, cost of goods, and choosing the right vendors to assist businesses in reaching their goals have all undergone a major revamping to adjust to the new norm.

Most business owners today work far harder than in the past and do so with far less left in the cookie jar when all the bills are satisfied. Many would also think twice about starting or owning a business in today’s climate.

While it’s never been easy getting started in business, hard work and regular investment early on were generally rewarded with customer loyalty and smooth sailing once the business was established.

Supporting local businesses that employ our neighbors and family members is what helps create a strong local economy. And a strong local economy insures us all a more vibrant community capable of dealing with changing times and bumps in the road that will arise over time.

It is easy to be seduced by low cost online deals from mega suppliers like Amazon, Alibaba, Overstock and dozens more who do nothing to help build strong communities with good schools systems, strong health care agencies and vibrant main streets.

Strong local commerce requires funds moving throughout the entire community just like blood flowing through a healthy human body. It must be steady to sustain the health of the body or in this case the community economic health.

As we celebrate labor day this weekend let‘s remember our local labor force and not forget the many business employers who call our community home. They invest a lot to be here and our combined success in all areas of the community will be based on the ability to support each other.

Fossil-fuel divestment loses at ballot box

Ethan Allen Institute Report

By Rob Roper

O

ver the past legislative session, the issue of divesting state pension funds of fossil fuel investments received considerable debate both in the State House and around Vermont. This debate spilled over into

the Aug. 9 primary election where incumbent Treasurer Beth Pearce, a vocal opponent of divestment was challenged by Richard Dunne, who ran a pro-divestment campaign. Divestment lost in a landslide.

Pearce, has been a long-time opponent of divestment since the issue first surfaced in 2013, and throughout her 13 years at the Office of the Treasurer she has consistently championed fiduciary responsibility and a practical yet principled approach to pension management. The role of investing state pension monies is to generate the best return for pensioners and taxpayers and should not be influenced by politics.

Where other government officials have flip-flopped on their stance on divestment over the years following activist

pressure, Pearce has repeatedly called the divestment a “bad practice” and explained to legislators that selling off stocks achieves nothing more than putting assets back into the market where they will be absorbed almost immediately. The pure economic and environmental rational of divestment led her to note: “I’m a person, as a fiduciary guided by the facts of the situation and frankly not the politics of it.”

In contrast, Pearce’s primary challenger Richard Dunne claims he was motivated to join the race because of Pearce’s stance on divestment, saying, “When I get in there, one of the first things I want to do is divest pensions from oil.” With an See VIEWPOINT, next page

Mary Cohen named to head Rutland Chamber

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

RUTLAND – Mary Cohen is no stranger to the ups and downs, even the good and bad business news cycle, in the Rutland area. Despite an anemic, barely growing national economy, Rutland businesses seem to be holding their own. Local entrepreneurs are still willing to take personal and financial risks to keep stoking the engine of growth in the Rutland region.

Cohen served for the past four months as interim director of the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce, but now wears a new hat as the Chamber’s official executive director.

Chamber Board President Bill Ackerman told the Eagle that the RRCC announced Cohen’s appointment following a four-month search for potential candidates.

“After considering the services we provide and expect to provide in the future, and her incredible leadership during a time of dramatic change, the board voted unanimously to remove the word ‘interim’ from Mary’s job title,” Ackerman said.

“Mary provides the ambition, leadership, determination and community contacts we need to bring the Chamber to an entirely new level of service to the people of and visitors to the greater-Rutland community.”

Ackerman said that Cohen fills the position left vacant by the resignation of Tom Donahue, who left to join BROC Community Action. As interim director, Cohen had to manage the Chamber fol-

Pearce has made a concerted effort to hold a balanced and transparent process for hearing arguments for and against divestment, and the numbers ultimately speak for themselves: Calculations by the Vermont Treasury found that divestment would cost the state pension funds $10 million per year in lost returns and $8.5 million to implement alone.

Tom Golonka, chair of Vermont Pension Investment Committee (VPIC), also concurred that divestment is an expensive and complicated process that goes beyond selling a stock or two. In fact, a

“Mary demonstrated incredible resolve and spirit in a tumultuous time and not only kept daily operations running smoothly, but helped the board and staff begin to envision new opportunities and new benefits to the region at large,” Ackerman told the Eagle.

According to a news statement by the RRCC, “Cohen is a longtime community leader, with deep ties and a commitment to public service. She most recently served at Neighborworks of Western Vermont, where she was Operations Director, Director of the Homeownership Center, and lead Neighborworks’ community revitalization effort in Rutland’s Northwest Neighborhood. She was previously a realtor at Berkley, Veller and Greene. She has a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in business administration from the University of Vermont.”

Additionally, Cohen served on nonprofit boards, including the Rutland Community Cupboard, Rutland Regional Medical Center and the Rutland Health Foundation, the Boys & Girls Club of Rutland County, and the Crossroads Arts Council.

“The past four months have been among the most interesting and fun of my professional career, and I am excited to market our local businesses and the amazing vacationland that the county represents,” Cohen said. “I love Rutland and the greater-Rutland region, and will focus on sharing that love with visitors, potential visitors, and the community at large.” the town would relinquish title to any infrastructure underlying the roadway.

Vermont Gas requests easements MIDDLEBURY — In July, Vermont Gas requested easements from the Town of Middlebury for installation of gas distribution lines along the Town’s properties at 77 Main St. and near the Powerhouse property. Town counsel has asked Vermont Gas for additional information about the easements and clarification of the terms of the transaction. Counsel has recommended holding off on issuing the 30-day public notice required by until the terms of the transaction are clarified. recent study by Arizona State University Professor Hendrik Bessembinder shows that the hidden costs, i.e., transactional and management costs, that accompany divestment have the potential to rob a large university endowment of 12 percent of its value over a 20 year period.

Aside from being a costly choice, divestment also does little in the way of actually lowering emissions aside from stigmatizing targeted energy companies. But finance experts and experts are not the only voices pushing back on divestment.

The individuals who undoubtedly stand to lose the most from divestment—the pension beneficiaries themselves—have made it clear in Vermont and across the country that this is an unwanted policy. According to a recent survey of 800 individual pensioners in the United States, nearly two thirds of respondents said they could not support divestment if doing so would lower returns.

In Vermont, the reaction from pensioners was

Middlebury voters authorized the creation of the position at Town Meeting in February. Kernan comes to Middlebury with an extensive background in public works supervision and developing and managing safety programs. His anticipated start date is on or before Oct. 3.

These groups include the Vermont Pension Investment Committee (VPIC), Vermont Troopers’ Association, Vermont Retired State Employees Association (VRSEA), Vermont League of Cities and Towns and Vermont State Employees Association (VSEA).

If the empirical evidence was not enough to deter Pearce’s challenger Richard Dunne from running a single issue campaign for divestment, the outright opposition from the pensioners themselves should have been enough to make the candidate rethink his position. Fortunately, when this issue was left to voters at the ballot box, pragmatism and good governance triumphed – Pearce won 56 percent versus 29 percent.

Errant animal, wet surface causes accident

FLORENCE — On Aug. 25, at approximately 1:18 p.m., Vermont State Police received a report of a two vehicle crash in Florence.

Operator Marcia M. Jankowski, 60, of Florence, told troop-

ers that she was traveling south on West Creek Road when a small animal ran out onto the wet road surface.

Jankowski swerved her 2011 Jeep Liberty vehicle right to avoid striking the animal and struck a parked vehicle, a 2003 G.M. Alero, that was in front of the residence of 1959 West Creek Rd. Due to the impact of the crash, the parked car struck the residence causing minor damage to the porch.

The airbag in Jankowski’s Jeep was deployed; she was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Injuries to Jankowski consisted of minor burn and abrasion on her right forearm.

Jankowski did not seek medical attention for her injuries.

Both the Jeep and Alero were towed away from the accident scene.

The primary cause of the crash was that Jankowski failed to maintain the Jeep in the proper lane.

Crews from Pittsford Fire and Rescue, a regional ambulance crew, as well as personnel from Thunder Towing and Leicester Towing, all assisted on the accident scene, police said.

Local students help protect river, ‘stonecat’ habitat

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

Earlier this year, students of Middlebury Union High School joined students of the Shelburne Community School, and volunteers, to plant more than 300 riparian trees at the Lake Champlain Land Trust’s Upper La Platte River Natural Area, north of the Chittenden County-Addison County line.

SHELBURNE — Earlier this year, students of Middlebury Union High School joined students of the Shelburne Community School, and local volunteers, to plant more than 300 riparian trees at the Lake Champlain Land Trust’s Upper La Platte River Natural Area, north of the Chittenden County-Addison County line recently.

According to Jeff O’Donnell, the Land Trust’s outreach coordinator, the Natural Area covers 65-acres and is an extension of the local community effort to protect wildlife habitat along the LaPlatte River, a major tributary of the Lake Champlain’s Shelburne Bay. The importance of protecting the LaPlatte River should be underestimated, according to O’Donnell.

“We partnered with the Intervale Center and Healthy Living Market and Cafe to plant over 350 trees,” O’Donnell noted.

Shelburne Bay is where the southern Chittenden

County water district draws water for approximately 60,000 residents surrounding the bay area.

Regarding the stonecat fish, according to Land Trust staffers, it is a northern freshwater catfish bearing the Latin scientific name Noturus flavus.

The fish’s popular name—stonecat—derives from its habit of lurking near or under stones in fast-moving water such that found in the upper LaPlatte River.

Northern fish expert and wildlife writer Gary Phillips said, “The stonecat is a benthic (lowest levels or bottom), opportunistic feeder, using its sensitive barbels (whisker-like sensory organs located near the mouth) during the night to search for food on the river bottom.

They eat a diversity of food items, such as aquatic insect larvae (mayflies), mollusks, minnows, fish eggs, isopods (wood lice), amphipods (small crustaceans), crayfish, plant material, worms, and chilopods (centipedes).”

The the Upper La Platte River Natural Area was created when the Lake Champlain Land Trust partnered with the Vermont Zen Center on a conservation easement with permanent, free public access to the wild property.

Irene

Continued from page 1 utilities ripple throughout all aspects of the local, regional and state economy,” said Secretary Moulton. “The good news is projects like VERI, together with $63 million in federal funding from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and FEMA and state funds from Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB) and philanthropic organizations, helped communities and business take steps to bounce back more quickly from future floods and disasters.”

In a joint statement, U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Rep. Peter Welch

said: “After seeing the devastation caused by the 2011 floods in cities and towns throughout Vermont, we are pleased to see that our work to secure federal funding and support has advanced state and local efforts to plan ahead and make Vermont safer and more resilient in future storms.”

The state and federal agencies also signed an agreement establishing a Silver Jackets Program in Vermont. Silver Jackets is a collaboration of state, federal, and other agencies to successfully reduce the risk of flooding and other natural disasters throughout the United States and enhance response and recovery efforts when such events do occur.

Across government agencies, Vermont instituted its focus on maintaining the momentum that brought Vermonters together after Irene to recover stronger and more prepared for future floods.

This barn along Route 100 in Plymouth, Vt., was destroyed by the tropical storm remnant of Hurricane Irene in August 2011. It is all that remains of a family farm.

Award

Continued from page 1 trom told the Eagle after receiving the impressive accolades. “It’s often said that great wine is made in the vineyard, not the winery, so I especially want to mention our vineyard manager, Roxanne Smith, whose hard work creates the grapes that go into our award-winning wine.”

The Winery of the Year Award went to Lincoln Peak Vineyard and its delicious, high quality 2014 Firelight wine won Best of Show, Double Gold and Gold award.

In addition, Lincoln Peak’s exceptional 2015 Black Sparrow, 2014 Cassis, and 2014 Marquette also took the Gold.

In the Silver category, Lincoln Peak’s 2015 Ragtime White and 2015 Marquette wowed the judges and meanwhile, in the Bronze, Granstrom’s 2015 La Crescent re-

ceived honors.

Of the Best of Show wine, Granstrom said, Lincoln Peak’s 2014 late harvest dessert wine, called Firelight, is a blend of La Crescent and Frontenac Gris grapes.

Shelburne Vineyard, another local winery, received Best of Show Award for its rosé wines.

Chankaska Creek Winery of Kasota, Minn., joined Lincoln Peak in receiving those top awards at the annual competition.

Granstrom told the Eagle that the annual competition is open to commercial wineries meeting the criteria for cold-hardy grape and fruit content.

Thanks for Your Support: “Well, shucks,” said Chris Granstrom.

“We were named Winery of the Year at the International Cold Climate Wine Competition this year. We’re honored, and pretty psyched.”

Flu mist

Continued from page 1 percent effective against that strain in the 2013-2014 season. Shots were only 15 percent effective against a different strain, H3N2, during 2014 and 2015.

Nasal spray flu vaccines accounted for “about one-third of all flu vaccines given to children” in recent years, according to the CDC, and scientists are unclear on why the vaccine stopped working.

“It’s been the shots or the nasal spray, so just the nasal spray is not available. The same vaccine by shot is still going to be available,” said Ben Truman, the department’s public health communications officer.

The loss of the nasal spray means vaccine purchasing has changed this year. According to information from the department, health officials will offer Fluzone Quadrivalent — manufactured

by Sanofi Pasteur — in two forms: thimerosal-free single-dose syringes, and thimerosal-laced multi-dose vials.

The department also will offer thimerosal-free single-dose syringes of Fluarix Quadrivalent, a product manufactured by Glaxo Smith Kline.

Thimerosal is a bacteria-killing preservative increasingly dropped from vaccines because it contains mercury, a highly toxic chemical element. A CDC advisory paper on thimerosal says the U.S. Public Health Service recommended removing the preservative from vaccines in 1999 “to reduce mercury exposure among infants as much as possible.”

“Today, except for some flu vaccines in multi-dose vials, no recommended childhood vaccines contain thimerosal as a preservative. In all other recommended childhood vaccines, no thimerosal is present, or the amount of thimerosal is close to zero,” the CDC

www.addision-eagle.com

paper states.

While all single-dose syringes administered through the Health Department are thimerosal-free, multi-dose vials of Fluzone Quadrivalent contain the preservative.

For the upcoming season, the Health Department ordered 65,000 doses for use in children 6 months through 18 years of age in practices enrolled in the Vaccines for Children program. The cost per dose, as priced through a CDC contract, ranges from $13.77 to $19.14.

Watchdog requested information on the number of doses administered to Vermonters last year, but Truman said “we do not have administration data available at this time.”

Jennifer Stella, co-founder of the Vermont Coalition for Vaccine Choice, a group that advocates for patient consent regarding vaccinations, says FluMist’s failure illustrates the sometimes undependable nature of vaccines and vaccine recommendations.

“Parents who went out and got this nasal mist for their children last year, thinking that it would be the best possible option, because that is what was being recommended, are now being told that that isn’t any longer a recommendation,” she said. “So there’s that question of, ‘how much do you guys really know about these things that you’re promoting?’”

Stella added that FluMist also produced “shedding,” a situation in which the spray’s live virus, or LAIV, could potentially spread to others for weeks. The FluMist package insert from the Food and Drug Administration identified shedding among 89 percent

The Vermont Eagle • September 3, 2016 | 11

of toddlers between 6 months and 23 months. It also warned of increased “risks of hospitalization and wheezing” for children younger than two years of age.

“The tragedy is that (the Vermont Health Department) is still recommending flu shots that have mercury in them for both pregnant women and children,” Stella said. “This year they’ve got on their list 35,000 doses of a Fluzone product that has 25 micrograms of mercury per shot.”

The Health Department statement says “getting a flu shot during pregnancy has been shown to protect both the mother and her baby for several months after birth.” The CDC flu vaccine safety and pregnancy guidelines identify instances in which the vaccine would not be recommended for pregnant women.

Due to FluMist’s use of live vaccine, the CDC warns against its use for pregnant women: “Live vaccines administered to a pregnant woman pose a theoretical risk to the fetus” and “do not administer LAIV to … pregnant women.”

Both the Health Department and the CDC direct people who have adverse reactions to contact the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System.

Stella said concerned parents who seek the vaccine for themselves and their children should request thimerosal-free singledose syringes offered through the Health Department. “(Mercury) has been removed from most shots for a reason … so it’s really important from a consumer perspective that if you’re going to have a flu shot, make sure you absolutely ask for a mercury-free shot.”

The Vermont Department of Health no longer will offer a costly nasal spray flu vaccine after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted not to recommend it due to its ineffectiveness during the past three flu seasons. In this photo, a U.S. Navy hospital corpsman is seen administering the vaccine.
