Vaccine Availability Increasing, Annexation, Emerald Ash Borer | Indiana Newsdesk

Right now on  Indiana Newsdesk:

State health officials are redoubling their efforts to make it easier to get COVID-19 shots. Ahead, the push to reach Hoosiers who are reluctant or hesitant about the vaccine or who are concerned about side effects.

The city of Bloomington is resuming its annexation process following years of dispute with the Indiana General Assembly and the governor. Up next, a look at the annexation timeline and the public input process.

The emerald ash borer was first detected in Monroe County about 13 years ago. The beetles take over ash trees and kill them within three years. Coming up, we talk to experts about the best way to handle the invasive pests.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, right now on  Indiana Newsdesk.
