An Idaho regional health department banned COVID vaccines. Will others follow?

Salon  

Last month, the board of a regional public health department in Idaho voted to ban its department from providing COVID-19 vaccines to residents in six counties. “They also act as a safety net for accessibility and affordability to vaccines, given that 1 in 3 Americans don’t have a primary health care provider.” She added such a trend is an “incredibly slippery road to go down.” In 2021, mRNA technology — which was novel at the time — allowed for an effective vaccine to be developed in record time. Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease and senior scholar at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said the latest news from Idaho is “more evidence of how politics and tribal mentalities have infused the control of communicable diseases.” “Local state health departments have routinely provided immunizations in their jurisdictions; they are often places where individuals can find travel-related vaccinations, seasonal vaccinations, and routine childhood Immunizations,” he said. “Health departments are going to administer vaccines, there is no rational reason to exclude COVID-19 vaccinations.” This week, president-elect Donald Trump picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services.
