 All persons ages 6 months and up should receive flu vaccine every year.

There are different kinds of flu vaccine available, depending on your age and health:

      A.  Regular flu shot 

      B.  High Dose flu shot for age 65 years and older

      C.  Pediatric flu shot for ages 6 months to 35 months

Flu vaccinations can be billed to Medicare Part B and Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield if you bring your card. For other insurance plans, we will provide a receipt for you that can be used for reimbursement.

Children 6 months through 18 years with Medicaid, who have no insurance, who have insurance that does not cover flu vaccine costs or who are Native American or Alaskan Native may receive flu vaccine from the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program at no cost. The VFC supply is provided by the Iowa Department of Public Health at no charge. Donations are accepted to help defray expenses.

Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. 7 in 10 homes in Iowa have high radon levels. This odorless, colorless, tasteless gas can only be identified with appropriate testing. Radon awareness and increase in testing/mitigation are  Community Health Needs Assessment priorities. Let us help you protect the ones you love and yourself by sharing information and resources at this event to help you reduce your risk of radon-induced lung cancer.
