● Seasonal influenza vaccinations

Hancock Co. Public Health Nurses have a limited number of seasonal influenza vaccinations available for school age children.  This vaccine is not the same as the H1N1 vaccine. 

This seasonal vaccine is targeted for children who do NOT have health insurance that would cover the cost of the vaccine.  If your child is Medicaid eligible, Hawk-I eligible or has no insurance, your child can receive this vaccination. 

Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like your child to receive this vaccine.  I need to send home a consent form for you to authorize your child to receive this vaccine at school.  The date for the vaccination is Friday, Dec. 4th at 8:30 am in my office.

Please contact Mrs. Aukes  by Dec. 01, 2009 at aukes@northiowa.org or leave a voice message at 562-2525 if you are interested in having your child receive a seasonal influenza vaccine.

Christmas Holiday Program on December 7, 2009

We wanted to remind you that we will be having our Christmas Holiday Program for elementary students on Monday, December 7 in the auditorium in Buffalo Center.

Our program will begin at 7:00 p.m. and we ask that you remain at the concert until all groups have performed.  The program will include 5th grade band and grades K – 5 vocal.

Students not in band are to report to their classrooms at 6:45 p.m.  5th grade band students should report to the band room at 6:40.

This is a very special night for your child.  Please have them dress nicely. We encourage you to have them wear nice pants (skirts or dresses for girls).  Please check to make sure your child’s shirt does not have a slogan or writing on it.

Trivia Question Answer: Mobile phones have brought about a dramatic change to the communication industry. The development of mobile phones has made long-distance communication a matter of seconds. Who was the genius to invent the first mobile phone and when was it invented? The mobile phone was invented in 1973 by Dr. Martin Cooper, a Motorola employee. On April 3, 1973, the first cell phone call was made. The caller was naturally, Dr. Cooper himself. The receiver of the first mobile phone call was Joel Angel, the research head at AT&T’s Bell Labs and rival of Dr. Cooper.
