BOISE, Idaho — Despite a widely available vaccine, Idaho is seeing one of the lowest vaccine rates among adults in the country.
“Idaho is currently just under 50% of our adult population being fully vaccinated which, admittedly, is 10% below the national average. We see higher vaccination rates among older adults than young adults and teens, and frankly it varies considerably by community,” said Deputy State Epidemiologist Dr. Kathryn Turner.
