Thousands of COVID-19 vaccine doses are in Idaho, and health care providers are working to get them distributed.

The coronavirus vaccine is considered one of the most critical tools we can use to battle the coronavirus.

Who will get the shots first? Are the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines safe? Do you still have to wear a mask and socially distance if you get immunized? When will life get back to normal?

Join Idaho Statesman health reporter Audrey Dutton; former St. Luke’s CEO and Idaho coronavirus working group member David Pate; and former emergency physician and co-founder of Crush the Curve Idaho Dr. Tommy Ahlquist for a live, virtual event at idahostatesman.com at noon today, Feb. 4.
