Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds speaks during a press conference at Iowa PBS on Wednesday in Johnston. With 37 percent of Iowans fully vaccinated, Reynolds called on those unsure or skeptical to make an appointment and receive the vaccine.
JOHNSTON Gov. Kim Reynolds implored Iowans on Wednesday to get vaccinated for COVID-19, however she refused to acknowledge that slowing demand for the shots is greatest in Republican parts of the state or that there’s a political aspect to the trend.
After 43 of Iowa’s 99 counties this week declined additional shipments of vaccine because of a decrease in demand, Reynolds promoted the vaccination effort by sharing the stage at her weekly news conference with National Guard Adjutant General Ben Corell, who is still recovering from a COVID-19 infection last winter. She also noted that Republican Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg would be vaccinated later this week in Sioux City.
