BOISE, Idaho — Nearly everyone in Malheur County is now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. This week, the Governor’s Office approved a Malheur County request to expand the eligibility within the county.
Now, people who are eligible include frontline workers, people living in multi-generational households, anyone age 16 and older with an underlying health condition, and those people from previous eligible groups.
