Vaccine priorities updated, but supply remains tight

Wyoming has announced changes to its vaccination priority groups, but that doesn’t mean it has magically uncovered new vaccine doses. Last week, the Wyoming Department of Health updated its 1b groupings, offering concurrent vaccination for vulnerable populations and some essential workers. It also released the 1c categories, which include other groupings of essential industries, the homeless and people living in a variety of congregate situations. “Even though we may have some updates with those phases, that’s not going to make more vaccine suddenly available in large quantities,” state Health Department spokeswoman Kim Deti said last week. Locally, people between 65 and 69 will start being vaccinated around mid-February alongside behavioral health care and social workers. In March, teachers and staff at the county’s schools, both public and private, will be up.

80 or older? You can soon sign up to receive a COVID-19 vaccine

Teton County residents who are 80 or older will soon be able to get in a queue to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, though shots for that population won’t be administered for some time. Rachael Wheeler, public health response coordinator for the Teton County Health Department, told the Jackson Hole Daily that the county has the go-ahead to move into the next phase of vaccination. Once the department moves through two higher-tier, employment-based priority subgroups — first responders not vaccinated in the first round, and then funeral home workers — it will move on to older folks, starting with those age 80 and up, and, once that group receives its first dose of the vaccine, to those 70 and older.
