Polio was eliminated in America decades ago because our communities made vaccination a priority. However, the virus still circulates globally, and unvaccinated individuals remain vulnerable to cases brought in from overseas outbreaks. Keeping your family up to date on the standard four-dose schedule is how we keep this disease a thing of the past. Call CG Public Health at 641-421-9300 for more information or to schedule an appointment, or book online 24/7 by visiting us online at cghealth.com.

You would not let a stranger walk into your backyard barbecue and start drinking your soda. So why are you letting a bug do it with your blood. Dump the standing water in your gutters, birdbaths, and flowerpots this week. If it holds water for more than a few days, you are just running a free motel for pests. 🦟🏡

The CDC recommends adults aged 65 and older receive two doses of the 2025-2026 COVID vaccine. National data shows summer COVID waves are now often larger than winter peaks. With cases usually rising in June and July, late May is the time to get protected. If you have not received a dose yet, you should schedule your first shot. If you received your first dose at least six months ago, you are now eligible for your second dose. Call 641-421-9300 or visit cghealth.com/services/immunizations to schedule your appointment.

It is an effective way to wash off unattached ticks and perform a quick skin check. Find the safety checklist at cghealth.com/ticks. If a tick is found, skip the home remedies and use fine-tipped tweezers for safe removal. 🛡️🧼👧
