IDAHO FALLS Eastern Idaho Public Health won’t be issuing any more public health orders on COVID-19, including mask mandates, after a decision by its board Thursday.
Although it is still highly recommending individuals, businesses, schools and others to implement proper safety protocols, personal responsibility is now being pushed rather than countywide enforcement.
“(Hospitals) are in a good position to care for all patients needing hospital care. Our kids are in school, our businesses are open, and more and more people every single week are getting vaccinated. With all of this being said, I feel that continuing to issue public health orders is no longer justified,” EIPH District Director Geri Rackow said in the board meeting. “I make a plea for personal accountability for everyone to make the choice for yourself to help in slowing the spread of the disease.”
Brian Reed, director of transformation at IU Health East Central Region, said that while it’s not yet known how the Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be distributed throughout the state, having another vaccine helps improve access.
“Since the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a one-shot vaccine, this vaccine will be particularly helpful in mass vaccination sites, temporary or ‘pop-up’ sites, retail spaces, doctor offices and other healthcare settings where it may be difficult for patients to come for two shots,” Reed said. “This flexibility will help healthcare providers be able to reach more patients in the community.”
Bryan Ayars, CEO of Open Door Health Services, said the single dose vaccine will likely be more favorable among the community.
