Idaho Gov. Brad Littleannounced Wednesday that all Idahoans ages 16 and older will be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine April 5. That's about three weeks sooner than the state's original eligibility timeline, and comes as the state's supply of Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnsons doses ramps up. But could it also indicate vaccine hesitancy among some people who are already eligible? And what's going on with surging case numbers in Eastern Idaho?
Idaho Matters discusses that and more on our weekly show with medical experts, featuring your questions. Today's panel:
- Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System and a current member of the state's coronavirus task force
- Dr. Michael Born, Chief Medical Officer at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise
