BOISE, Idaho — St. Luke’s says you no longer need an appointment to get a COVID-19 vaccine at any of their clinics.
Starting Thursday, anybody 16 or older can walk into a St. Luke's vaccine location, roll up your sleeve and get a shot.
St. Luke's says they made the move to eliminate barriers that prevent people from getting a vaccine.
The state announced Tuesday that people no longer need to live or work in Idaho to get a vaccine here. So, all this now means anybody, regardless of where they live or work can get a vaccine at St. Luke's without an appointment.
The vaccine is administered at no cost to the patient.
Patients should note that COVID-19 vaccination days and hours vary by site and can change. Walk-ins are only accepted on designated vaccine days and times. If you have questions, please call 208-381-9500.
