The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) News Alert -- May 30, 2006

Shortage Defers Meningococcal Vaccination of 11-12-Year-Olds:
Faced with a shortage of a recently licensed new vaccine against meningococcal disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last week asked providers to postpone vaccinating 11- and 12-year-old children in order to make the vaccine available for adolescents at high school entry and college freshmen living in dormitories.

Questions About Salmon Are Directed Upstream Wednesday, May 31, 2006; Page A17

SEATTLE -- The Bush administration -- having made it hard for federal scientists to talk publicly about global warming -- appears to have decided that loose lips are also bad when they talk about salmon.

The Washington office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration -- the agency responsible for protecting endangered salmon -- has instructed its representatives and scientists in the West to route media questions about salmon back to headquarters.
Only three people in the entire agency, all of them political appointees, are now authorized to speak of salmon, according to a NOAA employee who has been silenced on the fish.
