Sherborn Board Of Health in accordance with the Local
Emergency Planning Committee, and the local Police and Fire
departments, is charged with developing an Emergency Preparedness
Plan for the citizens of Sherborn. A critical Board of
Health function
of this plan is to establish an emergency dispensing
site.
The Sherborn Board of Health is
working in conjunction with the Dover Board of Health on
the development and staffing of a regional Emergency
Dispensing Site. The site, if activated, will be
staffed by Sherborn and Dover Medical Reserve Corps
(MRC) volunteers who will administer vaccines and/or
dispense antibiotics. These volunteers will likely
be a part of the response to infectious disease
outbreaks of any magnitude. Assistance will also
be provided by the Massachusetts Department of Public
Health.
