Very disappointing : Doctors lament Idaho s weak COVID-19 vaccination rates for children Ian Max Stevenson, The Idaho Statesman
Jun. 12 Idaho continues to fall behind the national pace with its COVID-19 vaccination rate, imperiling the state s potential to put the pandemic in its rear-view mirror for good, according to physicians.
In fact, for each age group that s become eligible for the vaccine, Idaho s rate has lagged the U.S. average by at least 10 percentage points. And the paltry number of teenagers receiving the shots has doctors concerned.
In mid-May, Americans age 12-15 could start getting the Pfizer shots. This put 17 million new people about 5% of the U.S. population into the vaccination pool, increasing the potential to get a little closer to herd immunity, which would require at least three-fourths of the population, and probably more, to be vaccinated.
