Pottawattamie County Public Health has asked all school districts in the county, both public and private, to survey teachers ahead of vaccination distribution.
Public Health Director Matt Wyant said the survey asks teachers if they re interested in taking the vaccine, and will help the department plan distribution. Wyant said he expects the state to put teachers in the 1B priority group for the vaccine, after the first wave is doled out to health care workers, first responders and long-term care facility employees.
There have been 82 COVID-19 deaths in the county, according to Iowa Department of Public Health data. There have been 14 new deaths since the state changed its death reporting policy on Dec. 7.

Christmas will be here before we know it, and maybe you are trying to decide on the best way to share your holiday wishes with those who are special to you. Holiday open houses are a tradition for many, where friends have a chance to get together, but this year will probably not be the year to host an open house, with the increase in the coronavirus cases.
With many spending more time in the kitchen cooking now, this may be a perfect time to share your talents with special treats of food gifts. Specially prepared gifts of food are usually appreciated, and those receiving the gift have an opportunity to try something new.
