Bluffton Hospital, a division of Blanchard Valley Health System, will offer another vaccination clinic for the community.

In this phase, individuals who are 50 years of age and older will be available to receive the vaccination, along with those with Type 2 Diabetes and end-stage renal disease.

This is a common occurrence when in the car with a new driver. Is Mom being overly cautious? Is son being too aggressive? Maybe a little bit of both?
