New U.S. Census Bureau data released on Monday shows Iowa continued to see slow population growth in 2020. Government entities, schools and businesses in Iowa would be banned from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination under a bill advancing in the Iowa Legislature. IPR State Government reporter Katarina Sostaric explains that the ban wouldn’t apply to health care facilities. Businesses that violate the bill won’t qualify for state-funded grants or contracts. Plus, IPR Health reporter Natalie Krebs tells us that The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics has announced it has joined a nationwide campaign with 60 health care providers to encourage more people to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
