May 5—More than half a million Idahoans are officially fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Data from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare shows that 504,388 people were fully vaccinated as of Tuesday. That equates to about 36% of the state's eligible population (16 and older). The state has administered 1,080,893 doses in all, with 43.5% of the population having received at least one dose.
The vaccination milestone coincides with the continued decrease in the state's seven-day moving average of new COVID-19 cases, which stayed below 200 cases per day for the second consecutive day, at 174.1.
