IPHA Executive Director Lina Tucker Reinders and board member Dr. John Rovers (Drake) had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Katelyn Jetelina — named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in Health — before her appearance at Drake University's graduation ceremony to receive an honorary doctorate in Public Service. They were joined by Dr. Robb Kruse (Iowa HHS), Hannah Reynolds (Iowa HHS), and Dr. Shauna Kaplan (Drake). Congratulations, and thank you Dr. Jetelina for being such a passionate national champion for public health!

Graduation season is here, and if you're looking for a meaningful gift for a new public health graduate in your life, we have a great idea. An Iowa Public Health Association membership is a smart, practical way to set them up for success from day one.

In just a few minutes, you can give the gift of membership and connect your graduate to a community of more than 500 public health professionals across the state. Through IPHA, they'll build relationships with colleagues, access leadership opportunities, and develop the skills they need to grow in their career.

Not shopping for a graduate this season? A gift to the IPHA Scholarship Fund can open doors for the next generation of public health leaders by helping offset membership costs for those facing financial barriers.

Adult vaccines are not one-size-fits-all, and they are not just “nice-to-have.”

What you may need can depend on your age, health history, job, travel plans, pregnancy, immune status, and what you received earlier in life. Some vaccines help keep protection current, while others become more important as risk changes over time.

A family physician can review your records and risk factors to determine what is actually recommended for you.
