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.
