(Atlantic) Today, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds updated Phase 1B to include all persons 65 and older, rather than the previously communicated 75 and older.
“We still expect to begin vaccinating 1B populations in February,” said Cass County Public Health Director Beth Olsen. “We’re thrilled to see that more people are eligible to receive the vaccine, and we are hoping for great news about when we can expect to receive our allocations.”
If individuals meet the 1B eligibility criteria, they should complete the survey at casshealth.org/covidvaccine or call 712-243-3250 and press 7. Cass County Public Health is collecting contact information for those who want to receive the vaccine. If you have already completed the survey, you do not need to take it again. Cass County Public Health will contact you about an appointment once vaccine is available.
