H1N1 continues to be widespread in Maine, though there is evidence that it may be declining. Four people have died of the disease this past week, bringing the total to 11 since July. A news release from the Department of health says all deaths have been among adults with serious underlying medical conditions. However, hospitalizations, school absenteeism, and outpatient visits have all declined this past week.
There will be a clinic for the H1N1 next Wednesday in Calais starting at 8 in the morning until 1 pm Calais Elementary School

Request for Blood Donors
Canadian Blood Services is asking St. Andrews and area residents to donate blood in the coming weeks. Faced with the risk of the H1N1 virus, inclement winter weather and declines in donations during the approaching holiday season, the organization is hoping to build up the blood supply now, prior to potential drops in donation levels.
A blood donor clinic is scheduled for Thursday, December 17 at the St. Andrews NBCC Campus.
