Iowa Department of Public Health medical director discusses ‘super flu shot’

News

October 16th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

Iowans are seeing advertisements for a so-called “super flu shot” for senior citizens. Iowa Department of Public Health medical director Patty Quinlisk says these vaccines target the influenza virus in two ways.

“One of them basically adds more protein from the flu virus into the vaccine,” Quinlisk says. “It’s basically got four times the amount of what’s called the antigen. The other one is a regular vaccine but it has something called an angivent in it, which basically says, ‘Look, look over here, there’s a red flag come respond to this.'” The state health department recommends the vaccine, in part, because a recent study found almost 25-percent fewer cases of flu in those who got the so-called super dose.

Doctor Quinlisk says, however, if your provider doesn’t have it, don’t wait for it. “The best flu shot is the one that’s in your arm, so if you go in and they don’t have one of these super-duper high-antigen shots, just get the regular one,” she says. “You’re still going to be protected.” Although Iowa’s influenza season usually begins in November, the health department has already had reports of a few cases across the state. Quinlisk encourages everyone to get a flu shot every year. The exceptions are infants under six months and those who are allergic to eggs.

Robbers take drugs from Newton nursing home

News

October 16th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

Newton Police are investigating the armed robbery of a nursing home early Sunday morning. Police Lieutenant Bill Henninger says they are looking for two people involved.He says they were called to Nelson Manor around 2:48 a-m and were told that two men carrying handguns entered the facility and took medications before fleeing.

Lieutenant Henninger says the men were described as black wearing dark clothing, with bandannas covering their faces. He says they came in through the front door and were inside the nursing home for less than five minutes before they ran out. No shots were fired. Henninger says officers are still attempting to verify the types and quantity of the medications stolen.

They were taken from a location by the nursing home’s common area, and not from patient rooms. Henninger asks anyone with information related to the case to contact the Newton Police Department at 641-792-1547 or Jasper County Crime Stoppers at 641-792-8362 -jaspercrimestoppers.com

Big 12 names ISU’s Ryen Special Teams Player of the Week

Sports

October 16th, 2017 by admin

(Irving) — The Big 12 Conference announced today that senior WR/PR Trever Ryen was named the league’s Special Teams Player of the Week. A native of Ida Grove, Iowa, Ryen made his mark on special teams in a number of areas of Iowa State’s 45-0 win over Kansas on Saturday.

Ryen had four punt returns for 86 yards, including a 68-yard return for a touchdown to give the Cyclones a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. It was Ryen’s second career punt return for a touchdown, tying for second in school history.

Ryen also made outstanding plays on the Cyclone offensive punt unit. He recovered his first career fumble when a Kansas returner couldn’t handle a Colin Downing punt. Ryen’s hustle also allowed him to down a pair of Cyclone punts inside the five-yard line (1-yard line and 4-yard line). Both plays were huge in helping the Cyclones win the field position battle.

The Paul Hornung Award candidate has the third-best career punt return average in Cyclone history (14.21).
