Teton County residents who are 80 or older will soon be able to get in a queue to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, though shots for that population wonât be administered for some time.
Rachael Wheeler, public health response coordinator for the Teton County Health Department, told the Jackson Hole Daily that the county has the go-ahead to move into the next phase of vaccination. Once the department moves through two higher-tier, employment-based priority subgroups â first responders not vaccinated in the first round, and then funeral home workers â it will move on to older folks, starting with those age 80 and up, and, once that group receives its first dose of the vaccine, to those 70 and older.
