Children’s Holiday Breakfast – Dec. 6

Set aside the entire morning of Sunday, Dec. 6th for the 26th Annual Children’s Holiday Breakfast  — it’s bound to get you into the holiday spirit!  The doors open at 9:00 and breakfast will be served up until the closing at 1:00.   For more information, or to become a vendor or sponsor, visit the League’s website at www.westonwomensleague.com.

The event will feature a pancake breakfast with all the trimmings and festive photo opportunities with Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman.  In addition, the Middle School gym will be home to activities galore including crafts, face painting, and an ever-popular Moon Bounce.  Shoppers can also enjoy the Holiday Gift Boutique, where an array of local vendors and artisans will be showcasing their crafts and goods.

The net proceeds of the day will be divided between important non-profits:  Kids in Crisis, Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program (ADAP), and Weston Education Foundation.  Kids in Crisis will use the monies for the enhancement of their programming which assists children in emergency situations, ADAP’s funds will further substance abuse awareness, and Weston Education Foundation will use the League’s donation for one or more chosen grants.

Tickets for the event are being sold at Camelot Realty at the Weston Center.  They can also be purchased by contacting League member, Kerry Scaramuzza via kscaramuzza@gellerco.com.  Family tickets are $25 in advance/$30 at the door, individual tickers are $8 in advance/$10 at the door, and admission is free for children under two.

H1N1 Vaccine in Westport

Willows Pediatric Group

There will be an H1N1 flu vaccine clinic on Saturday, December 5th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm and on Tuesday, December 8th from 6:00 to 7: 30 pm.  Following CDC guidelines, we will be immunizing all children six months through six years eleven months, and children seven and over with chronic, high risk conditions.  We are prepared to accomodate all our patients as supplies last, but please come with a smile!

At this time, we will be administering “first doses.”  Booster doses will be given once our supply increases.  To be eligible to receive the vaccine, patients must have been seen in the office previously.

Please, note, as a clarification to our patients and families – All our vaccine is injectable; therefore we must follow the above CDC guidelines for injectable H1N1 vaccine.  Please understand the guidelines for Nasal H1N1 vacccine are different.

The Westport/Weston Health District

The CT Department of Public Health has designated the Westport Weston Health District as the lead agency for the H1N1 Mass Dispensing Area of Westport, Weston, and Wilton.

Both the Westport Weston Health District and the Wilton Health Department continue to receivelimited amounts of both injectable and nasal spray vaccine.  Note: Nasal spray is preservative-free; it does NOT contain thimerosal.  Currently, the injectable vaccine we have been provided DOES contain thimerosal.  We will continue to order injectable that is thimerosal-free, but cannot predict when it will be available.  Check back using this website. Also, please note that all influenza vaccines are egg-based and we cannot administer to those with chicken or egg allergies.  Individuals who are egg-allergic may have their allergist contact us regarding vaccine availability for their patients.

Eligibility, per state of Connecticut criteria, is currently limited.   Click here to see if you are eligible, and what form of the vaccine you may receive. Then schedule an appointment online and you will get an email confirmation.
