10月11日,華盛頓大學醫院(BJC)在聖路易現代中文學校舉辦免費注射感冒預防針活動。活動自下午1:00開始到5:00結束﹐一共為500位各年齡層次人士注射了感冒疫苗預防針。這次活動不僅為中文學校師生家庭﹐也向社區所有民眾提供服務。一些沒有健康保險的華人﹐聞訊而來﹐接受這項免費醫療服務。許多擁有保險的民眾也因為如此方便而參加這項服務活動。
現代中文學校理事周以華博士為這次服務活動的順利進行做了大量工作。這次活動不僅為社區華人同胞提供免費的感冒預防注射﹐更重要的是提高社區人士對於預防疾病的意識。 感謝參加這次免費感冒疫苗注射活動的醫生護士義工。
(by Chi Zeng ) On a Sunday afternoon on 10/11/2009, more than the usual number of people, from young kids to elderly, gathered outside the St. Louis Modern Chinese School (SLMCS), waiting for the flu shots that were provided by Barnes Jewish Children’s Hospital in St. Louis, free of charge.
This was the 3rd year that BJC provided free influenza vaccinations to the Chinese community at SLMCS. Many physicians, nurses, nursing school students and supporting personnel volunteered in the event. Many parents and students at SLMCS have also actively participated to organize this community service.
The event was a great success and was well received. The more than 500 recipients of the vaccine included many parents and students of SLMCS as well as others in the Chinese community. The event also helped raise the importance of disease prevention.
The vaccine was generously provided by Barnes & Jewish Hospital, free of charge. The event was led by Yihua Zhou, M.D., Ph.D. and Barbara Bogomolov, RN of BJC. As usual, Barbara was involved from the beginning to the end, from the initial discussion to the last shot. She personally delivered the vaccines and supplies to the site and participated in injection.
Volunteers from BJC: Ma, Xiaoli (馬曉麗), Lin, Xiumeim (林秀梅), Zeng, Yan (曾燕), Jiang, Shujie (姜淑杰), Hu, Xinying (胡新英), Ren, Jie (任杰) Zhou, Yihua (周以華), Wang, Jackie (王熊), Zhou, Andy (周安迪), Lu, Kefu, Ditzler, Linda, Hodgson, Randall, Adelani, Muyibat, Kavalianas, Christopher, Schapiro, Melissa, Fang, Amy, Kornmann, Alyssa, Friemel, Juli, Bogomolov, Barbara
