There will be a temporary delay in many of the services being offered by the Horizon Health Network—formerly the Atlantic Health Sciences Corporation. This is to implement the province’s H1N1 vaccination program.
Among those being temporarily postponed are the three-and-a-half year preschool screening clinics, health promotion activities, Healthy Learners program, anonymous HIV testing and sexual health services. Horizon Health says priority services for at risk people, pediatric immunization clinics and tracking of communicable diseases will continue–and—all services will return to normal when the H1N1 flu shot program ends.
