Vaccination for infants and children is an
ongoing topic of discussion in the news, particularly in the wake of the recent
measles outbreak. What you may not know is that vaccines are important for
people at all ages.
Patty Hinrichs, RN, Grinnell Regional Public
Health, will be the featured speaker at the Grinnell Regional Medical Center
SE*ED program on Monday, April 6. Hinrichs will discuss immunizations and the
vaccines specific to persons age 50 and older.
The program is free and open to the public at
the Drake Community Library. Refreshments are served beginning at 9:30 a.m. and
the program begins at 10 a.m. No reservations are needed. Donations are

The SE*ED program is back to its weekly schedule
