This weeks vaccinations open to anyone 16 and older

Humboldt County Public Health has opened this week’s Pfizer COVID-19 Mass Vaccination Clinic to ANYONE 16 years and older. The clinics will be Wednesday and Thursday, March 31 and April 1 at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds in Humboldt. All Phase 1 vaccinating restrictions have been lifted. There are approximately 650 doses/appointments left for this upcoming clinic. We encourage anyone 16 years and older that would like to get vaccinated to make an appointment.
On the day/time of your appointment, please enter through the south gate at the Fairgrounds. We prefer you come from the east (on 6th Ave N) to eliminate a backup of cars on 5th St N if possible. (see map) From this point, you will be guided through the process by our Hospital staff. The process takes approximately 25 minutes once you get your number at the gate. As a reminder, you are required to wait 15 minutes following your injection to ensure you do not have a reaction.

Bank Iowa offers digital egg hunt with prizes

The continued cancelation of some community Easter egg hunts across the state and continued socially distance restrictions has compelled Bank Iowa to host a second annual virtual Easter egg hunt. Starting this Saturday, March 27, Humboldt-area community members will be invited to participate in a digital hunt for Easter egg icons hidden throughout the Bank Iowa website (bankiowa.bank). Over the course of five days, five eggs will be hidden on the site, with a new egg hidden each day.
Every day at noon, the egg will move to a new location on the site. Hunters who want a leg-up on the competition are encouraged to watch for clues on Bank Iowa’s Facebook and Instagram pages (facebook.com/BankIowaBank and Instagram.com/bankiowabanks).
