Public health officials say extreme winter weather across the U.S. has prevented any coronavirus vaccine from being shipped to Idaho this week, potentially delaying some vaccination efforts.
The news comes as Idaho Department of Health and Welfare officials also announced Friday that an Idaho man has been infected with a variant of coronavirus first detected in South Africa. The variant, believed to be more infectious and potentially more virulent than the strain already prevalent in Idaho, has been reported in 19 cases found in 10 other states so far. This marks the first time the South Africa variant has been confirmed in Idaho.
