Individuals age 35 and older who live or work in Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis and Nez Perce Counties are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine and can begin scheduling appointments, according to a press release from Public Health – Idaho North Central District. 

Those who are eligible can visit www.idahoprepmod.com to find clinic locations. Individuals can also pre-register for an appointment on the state’s website

“With an increased availability of COVID-19 vaccine supply and available appointments throughout our district we are ready to move on to this next age group,” District Director Carol Moehrle said. “Public Health and our community providers will continue to offer COVID-19 vaccine to frontline workers that do not meet the age requirement and all other previously eligible priority groups.”

Statewide, the COVID-19 vaccine timeline recently opened appointments to food and agriculture workers March 15 and to the general population age 55-64 and older March 22.
