So far, 994 doses of vaccine have been administered. Idaho’s allotment of the covid vaccine has been reduced for next week, down 44 percent. The state did not receive a clear reason for the reduction.

The state’s vaccine advisory committee decided not to put medical waste workers and drivers who transport high risk patients in the first priority list for the vaccine.

Idaho should receive 28 thousand doses of the new Moderna vaccine next week.
