What should businesses and industries do now?

Individuals can work with their employer on how to best access vaccine.

Employers and industries are encouraged to consider among the following options for employees:

  • Employers may encourage their employees to seek their own individual appointments through an enrolled vaccine provider. It is preferred that people make an appointment with an enrolled vaccine provider within the community they live wherever possible.
    • As a reminder, enrolled vaccine providers will ask people to bring proof of eligibility to their vaccine appointment. This may include a pay stub or other proof of employment. Additionally, proof of Idaho residency is now required. Learn more HERE.

  • Employers may establish an agreement with an enrolled vaccine provider for an on-site/mobile vaccine clinic for their employees. CDH has assembled a list of enrolled vaccine providers who can offer scheduled on-site/mobile vaccine clinics. Please note that this list may change. Information will be updated on this page as changes occur. If an employer establishes an agreement for an on-site vaccine clinic for employees, it would not prohibit employees from seeking their own vaccine appointment.


A vaccine for COVID-19 is only one of the ways to stop the spread of the disease. Because the supply of vaccine is currently limited, doing other things to help stop the spread will be just as important as it is now. This means still wearing a face mask, staying at least 6-feet away from others, washing your hands often, and staying home if you are sick.

Vaccine Planning

Who decides the priority groups and subgroups for the COVID-19 vaccine?

Idaho’s COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee (CVAC) discusses recommendations for subgroups within each group of the states's plan. CVAC's recommendations are provided to the Governor, who makes final decisions on vaccine prioritization. In some circumstances, Central District Health makes decisions for its local jurisdiction in areas that haven't been specified by CVAC to help clarify when priority groups/subgroups are eligible to get the vaccine.

When does the COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee (CVAC) meet?

The Idaho COVID-19 Advisory Committee meets from noon to 2 p.m. every other Friday or when seen fit. Members of the public may listen only via WebEx. Public comment is accepted via email at: covid19vaccinepubliccomment@dhw.idaho.gov. Once available, meeting agendas are posted HERE. Find other resources regarding the Idaho COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee, HERE.

We encourage you to let your staff know what your plan is to connect them to COVID vaccine. Communicate this process now, whether you plan is to encourage them to individually find an appointment for vaccine, or if you will work to coordinate an on-site vaccine clinic for staff. Please view the Communication Tools section on this page for resources like sample emails you can send your staff, flyers, and vaccine fact sheets.

After Vaccination

Do I need to wear a mask and avoid close contact with others if I have received 2 doses of the vaccine?

Yes. Not enough information is currently available to say if or when CDC will stop recommending that people wear masks and avoid close contact with others to help prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.

Experts need to understand more about the protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide in real-world conditions before making that decision. Other factors, including how many people get vaccinated and how the virus is spreading in communities, will also affect this decision. We also don’t yet know whether getting a COVID-19 vaccine will prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to other people, even if you don’t get sick yourself. CDC will continue to update this page as we learn more.

While experts learn more about the protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide under real-life conditions, it will be important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic. To protect yourself and others, follow these recommendations:

  • Wear a mask over your nose and mouth
  • Stay at least 6 feet away from others
  • Avoid crowds
  • Avoid poorly ventilated spaces
  • Wash your hands often
Together, COVID-19 vaccination and following CDC’s recommendations for how to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection from getting and spreading COVID-19.
