With the FDA approving the Pfizer vaccine for emergency use, plans to distribute the vaccine are now under way. Vials of the vaccine are expected to be in all 50 states on Monday.
With a possible vaccine ready in 2021, we asked locals in Pocatello if they would take the vaccine. Both Timothy Dunkley and Tracy Merrill said they where skeptical of taking the vaccine.
