IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa public health officials have selected Microsoft to develop an online vaccine scheduling system. They seek to improve the state’s low national rankings for the rate of doses administered. The Iowa Department of Public Health Monday posted a notice online that it intends to award an emergency contract to the well-known software company. The agency told bidders that it would award a separate agreement to run a vaccine call center later this week. The selection of Microsoft came after the agency last week gave potential bidders one day to respond to an emergency request for proposals seeking work.
