[healthnews] October Health Matters Newsletter and Calendar of Events

[Columbia/Boone County Health Department Health News and Events]

Good Morning!

This month's Health Matters newsletter includes a fun and informative "FLU PAGE", a recipe for a delicious (and healthy!) Halloween treat, as well as feature articles on curbing the Halloween sugar rush, preventing SIDS and recognizing the signs of breast cancer. Be sure to read all about two of our employees: Senior Animal Control Officer Molly Aust and HIV Prevention Planner Betsy Smith. 

Health Matters and the department's October Calendar of Events may also be accessed on our website at http://gocolumbiamo.com/Health/healthdepartmentnewsandpressreleases.php 

Remember, annual flu vaccinations are the best way to protect yourself and your family from getting the flu. Check out page 2 of the newsletter or visit the health department's online flu page at http://gocolumbiamo.com/Health/fluclinicschedule.php for flu clinic dates and other helpful information.

Have a safe and healthy October!
Geni
