The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) is set to hold a virtual briefing on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The meeting will be live-streamed on KTVB.COM and the KTVB YouTube channel.

IDHW Director Dave Jeppesen and Idaho State Epidemiologist Dr. Christine Hahn will be present and will offer remarks and updates on the statewide vaccination efforts. Idaho Immunization Program manager Sarah Leeds will also be present.

Idaho is currently in the process of vaccinating individuals 65 years of age or older and frontline essential workers, such as first responders and teachers.

An estimated 46% of those 65 or older have received the first dose of the vaccine since Feb. 1, according to Central District Health (CDH).
