They had to make some changes, but school officials say Western Dakota Technical Institute’s Child Development Center is open and operating despite worries last summer that it might be closed.

Some child care facilities in the Sioux Falls area will soon be giving out H1N1 shots to protect workers and kids. But they won't be available to the general public just yet.
