Hello all!
For those interested in learning more about when and where vaccines for the Coronavirus will be available, we have collected a handful of links with critical information. Note that different hospitals have various roll-out schedules; for instance, Northwest Specialty is currently (as of 1/18/21) vaccinating 75+, while Kootenai Medical Center has not begun with that phase yet. Note that while NWS does not require an order from your primary care provider, and is scheduling first-come, first served; KMC will require an order to better keep vaccine distribution to our local community.
As always, please call the office at 208-966-4512 if you have any questions, or would like to have your name added to your age group's list.
