IOWA COVID VACCINE NEWS

Iowa COVID vaccine news

Governor Kim Reynolds has good news about coronavirus vaccines in Iowa.  At a Thursday morning (2/25) news conference, she said Iowans are getting the vaccines in good numbers.

“Next week, we project that 70 percent of tier one populations will have received at least one dose of vaccine.  And this includes our first responders, K-through-12 teachers and staff and child care workers.  And we estimate that 70 percent of Iowans aged 65 and older will have received their first dose of vaccine by mid-March.”

Reynolds went on to say that Iowa would receive 25,800 doses of Johnson and Johnson’s COVID vaccine, which should lead to more Iowans being made eligible to get a coronavirus vaccine.
