Public health officials said the move to open eligibility to more Idahoans will be effective immediately.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Idahoans over the age of 16 years old who live within the jurisdiction of South Central Public Health are now eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

South Central Public Health oversees Blaine, Camas, Cassia, Gooding, Jerome, Lincoln, Minidoka and Twin Falls counties.

Residents do not need a medical condition to receive a vaccine.

Public health officials said the move to open eligibility to more Idahoans will be effective immediately.

The move sets South Central Public Health nearly a full week ahead of Idaho Gov. Brad Little's timeline to make the vaccines open to all Idahoans by April 5.
