POCATELLO As Idahoans aged 65 or older look toward getting their COVID-19 vaccinations, Pocatello Regional Transit is preparing to help transport its seniors to and from clinics.
More than 250,000 Idahoans are over the age of 64, according to the state’s COVID dashboard, and they are expected to begin receiving the vaccination on Feb. 1. When that time comes for those living in the Pocatello-Chubbuck area, a ride can be set up through PRT by calling PRT Dispatch at (208) 232-0111.
“It’s important we keep our senior population healthy and services like this provide access to the vaccine,” Pocatello Regional Transit Director Skyler Beebe said in a news release. “… Our professional drivers provide safe and reliable transportation and are trained for those who may require assistance.”
