Statement made on 02 December 2009 by Senator Fernand Robichaud
Hon. Fernand Robichaud:
Honourable senators, I would like to speak briefly today to draw your attention to the quality of the services being provided by the public health professionals in New Brunswick responsible for vaccinating the people of the northern parts of Kent County.
I would simply like to extend my sincere congratulations to all medical staff and volunteers who graciously and enthusiastically saw the entire population to administer the H1N1 flu vaccine efficiently and quickly, to protect against the pandemic currently facing Canada.
From making appointments to helping people fill out the routine questionnaires and the actual administration of the vaccine, health care professionals served nearly 1,200 people with empathy and professionalism. Clients at the community centre in Petite Aldouane received outstanding and first-rate care.
I would like to congratulate those responsible and once again extend my thanks for their dedication, their smiles and their positive attitude.
