Immunization clinic urged as polio measles debate grows
Health officials in Linn County express concern over slow take up at the immunization clinic for schoolchildren. Weather delays and opposition from some chiropractors fuel questions about the lag.

In Iowa, state law requires vaccination for students through high school, with religious objections the only exception. The Linn County Health Department offers shots at 751 Center Point Road NE on 9 am to 4 pm Mondays Tuesdays and Thursdays for three more weeks.
