No sign-up for Covid-19 vaccine

 

Winneshiek County Public Health is asking for the community to help by having some patience as the state continues to distribute the Covid-19 vaccine.

“We are working to complete Phase 1A and will not be starting Phase 1B until February. Iowa Department of Public Health sent out an updated Phase 1B and tier listings that will include persons 65 years and older as well as other tiered priority groups,” said  Winneshiek Public Health Director Nancy Sacquitne.

“However, vaccine remains in short supply. This means not everyone in Phase 1B will be able to get vaccine right away. In each county, further prioritization must occur due to vaccine shortage and not being able to vaccinate everyone at once. All counties are working to distribute the vaccine safely to our communities.,” she continued.

It’s all about getting back to their roots for Winneshiek County natives Josey and Micole Jewell, who along with daughter Rohen, currently reside in Denver, Col.

“We had always talked about the idea of opening a smoothie bar and were recently presented with the opportunity to actually do it,” said Micole Jewell, who grew up in rural Ossian and graduated from South Winneshiek. “Neither of us have any experience with starting or running a business, so it’s been a bit of a process for us but we are really looking forward to being able to open up in February!”
