VACCINE: Deploy this army

In discussions about how to get the most Idahoans vaccinated for COVID-19, please consider activating the Medical Reserve Corps.

MRC is a volunteer group through every District Health region in Idaho, comprised of medical and non-medical citizens. They have specifically volunteered for supporting public health crises and would be so valuable for doing paperwork and giving injections on a large scale.

When a vaccination plan calls for considering the National Guard, also think of this group of citizen medical volunteers. Contact Panhandle Health for more information.
