The Saint John Police Force has a plan in place to deal with the H1N1 flu pandemic. Chief Bill Reid tells CHSJ news they are expecting the pandemic flu vaccine to be made available to officers in about two weeks. In the meantime, they have cleaning products for police cruisers and officers have been provided with masks, gloves and sanitizers.
Chief Reid says the police department normally offers the seasonal flu shot in-house and once the pandemic vaccine is available, they will do the same thing.
