Health Certificates Clarified for Premarital Law
The state health department explains how to obtain premarital health certificates. Each party must secure a separate certificate from a district court clerk in any county and present it to the county clerk where the marriage will occur. Certificates must accompany the doctor’s examination and be sent with blood samples for lab completion. The physical exam must occur within 20 days before applying for the license, and the license becomes void if the marriage is not consummated within 20 days after issuance.

Preventive Vaccination Curbing Hog Cholera Losses
Annual losses from hog cholera remain the heaviest swine disease but vaccination offers the best means of control. Proper vaccination is key to reducing mortality, with vaccines proving effective against this life threatening malady.
