With limited vaccine, Idaho faces priority group confusion
By REBECCA BOONEJanuary 22, 2021 GMT
BOISE, Idaho (AP) Limited coronavirus vaccine availability, confusion over just which Idaho residents should be vaccinated first and rumors of line-jumpers are all complicating the state’s vaccine rollout.
Members of Idaho’s COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee met Friday to help clarify exactly who should have first dibs on the state’s vaccine doses. On average, Idaho is shipped about 21,000 vaccine doses each week. Those shipments are earmarked as “first doses,” with the federal government automatically shipping the second dose for each individual vaccine recipient around three weeks later.
