Idaho Governor Brad Little announced in a press release today that he has reactivated the National Guard as, “a last-ditch effort to avoid the first-ever activation of statewide crisis standards of care by adding hundreds of new medical personnel for Idaho hospitals, but he said the real solution to the crisis is more Idahoans choosing to receive the safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine.”
Little went on to say that those who had gotten the shot, “have shown love for their neighbor by choosing to receive the safe and effective vaccine.” In addition, he stated that those who had not taken the vaccine needed to do so in order to, “protect lives, help our exhausted medical staff, keep healthcare access available to all of us, keep our workforce healthy, and keep our kids in school.”
