COVID-19 Update: March 15, 2021

On Monday, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare reported 421 new cases of coronavirus and 6 new deaths. That brings the statewide total to 175,657 cases and 1,916 deaths. Starting today, Idaho residents ages 55-64 with certain pre-existing conditions are eligible to get vaccinated. Starting March 22nd, all Idahoans in that age group can schedule an appointment. The state is still vaccinating those who qualified in previous tiers, so if you’re 65 and older, it’s not too late. To pre-register for a vaccine, visit covidvaccine.idaho.gov and then a provider in your area will contact you to make an appointment.
