Repairs Continue On US 31 Bridge Between Crothersville & Austin

Posted on by

Drivers waiting at the temporary signal to cross the U.S. 31 bridge between Crothersville and Austin are encouraged to pull forward to the white stop bar on the pavement next to the “Stop Here on Red” sign.

For the past several weeks both northbound and southbound traffic are sharing one lane across the bridge with the temporary signal controlling traffic. Bridge crews are rehabilitating the bridge in phases this year under a contract with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). Later this summer, traffic will be shifted to allow the bridge rehab work to be completed.

Sensors or “loops” are embedded into the pavement at the white stop bars and “Stop Here on Red” signs to detect waiting traffic. It’s important that drivers stop where directed by signage and pavement markings so that traffic flow is optimized.

New Online Tool Lets Hoosiers Access Immunization Records

Posted on by

State and federal officials last week unveiled “MyVaxIndiana,” the new groundbreaking online tool from the Indiana State Department of Health that provides Hoosiers direct access to their immunization records from any computer.

“Our goal is to further improve immunization rates of Hoosiers by providing parents and patients ready on line access to their own vaccine records, 24 /7,” said State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin, M.D.  “Having both the health care provider and the patient completely understand what vaccines have been given and what are further recommended will add to vaccine compliance. Additionally, once the provider gives the patient his/her individual Patient Identification Number (PIN), immunization records for school, travel or personal care are available on the patient’s on-line request.”

An individual may access their immunization record on the secure website by entering their date of birth and a personal identification number (PIN) which must be requested from their healthcare provider or local health department in advance. Immunization history, as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s ACIP Immunization Schedule can then be viewed, with the option to download, print, or fax the record.

All MyVaxIndiana records appear as they are maintained in the Indiana Children and Hoosiers Immunization Registry Program (CHIRP). MyVaxIndiana complements CHIRP, which is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Approximately 4 million Hoosiers have “active” records in CHIRP, which is defined as having two or more vaccines entered.

MyVaxIndiana was created by the Indiana State Department of Health through a technology grant from the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) in response to the ONC Consumer Innovation challenge to provide consumer’s access to their health information.

The goals of the new MyVaxIndiana tool are to improve state immunization rates, to empower Hoosiers to become a partner in managing their healthcare, and to reduce the burden of office visits.

Indiana has recently seen an increase in adolescent immunization rates due to increased immunization requirements, interagency partnerships and dedicated state funding over the past school year. According to the most recent CDC National Immunization Survey for Teens (NIS-Teen), teen immunization rates in Indiana have increased by 60 to 70 percent in some cases from 2009 to 2010.

However, outbreaks in the state such as the three outbreaks of measles which have occurred over the past two years emphasize the need for further improvement in immunization rates.

Advice For The Ages And Aged

I have a group of newspaper colleagues who are all contemporaries: we all are celebrating our post 59th birthday on this earth. We are half way through a 60’s celebration; our 60’s not the decade. A friend(?) sent me some of the perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 or heading towards 70 (whichever suits you):

•Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

•In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.

•No one expects you to run…anywhere.

•People call at 9 p.m. and ask, “Did I wake you?”

•People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.

•There is nothing left to learn the hard way.

•Things you buy now won’t wear out.

•You can eat supper at 4:30 p.m. and at a discount.

•You get into heated arguments about pension plans.

•You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.

•You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.

•You sing along with elevator music.

•Your eyes won’t get much worse.

•Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.

•Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the TV weatherman.

•Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them either.

•Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.

•Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night!
