When Can I Get My COVID-19 Vaccine Living In Idaho?

I started out 2020 on a radio station that is the reason I've been living in Boise since 2007. I had a severe head injury the first week of February cracking my skull in the 3 parts. I lost memory, was afraid to lose my eye and the list goes on.

March was my first moment back in the building and on the radio. I was lucky enough to have an amazing recovery (still get bad headaches and my memory isn't so great.) That's when COVID-19 hit, I moved radio stations and we've seen what's happened since.

2021 will usher in a new year that we've all been waiting for with one exception, the pandemic we still live in. There is a vaccine and it's already been shipped out with the first recipients last week. I feel like it will be difficult to move forward until we're mentally in a safe place. The best way to begin is with a vaccine. How do we get one? How many will we get? Does it cost? How do I know what group I'm in? Help!
