The United States Department of Health & Human Services announced this morning that it will authorize and encourage all citizens over the age of 65 to receive a vacination regardless of the restrictive tiers set forth by the CDC. This is due to the rapidly escalating contagiousness of the virus and skyrocketing deaths.
Pharmacies such as Walgreens and CVS and retailers with in-house pharmacies such as Walmart are teaming up to provide support in the rollout.

Hi NoPain, I tried to find an article about that as that's just incredible! All the gambling and tourist revenue evaporated ok, but I thought each state received federal funding for this already. No?
Actually, I think i read that a lot of states said they are fiscally strapped because their monies have been put into emergency services dealing with other escalting covid costs.
I did find an article about Nevada vaccinating the prison inmates according to a rigid tier system. That's insane too! Both the inmates and the guards should be treated as priority. Even though there are individual cells, the entire prison is one giant open air transmissible pitri dish.
Nevada is not alone in its reckless prison population vaccine rollout.
There has been a lot of attention devoted to that fact. I mention the topic because the article I found regarding Nevada stated that Nevada was using a very complicated tier system to go into the prisons and vaccinate. No sanity on show there!
PS: Here is the article that I read about your state.
Iowa's governor made an announcement tonight that made it sound like everything was smooth sailing but we'll see. I think most the States are waiting on the Biden presidency and the federal monies to flow to fully launch the next big stages. President-elect Biden has stated full locomotive power and laser beam focus on getting everyone vaccinated and financing the logistics immediately.

Yes they are doing prisoners and homeless first. And the new tier is called buckets but they have no idea how to get the vaccines out yet. I called the pharmacies and they have nothing yet on how or when. No programs set up or anything. Can’t even register to get one. But yes I do believe it is political.
Thanks for sharing this information.
Our Nevada governor just announced the state doesn’t have money to get ours out. OMG are you serious. Unbelievable 😤
