Gov. Brad Little has now received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Little received the Moderna vaccine Monday at Primary Health in Meridian.

“People need to get vaccinated, and what people need to know today is that when it comes to the first of February, we don’t have enough vaccine in the State of Idaho," Little said. "There’s going to be a long line. So, if you miss the opportunity now, you’re going to be in a longer line. We’re trying to get as much vaccine as we can. We’re getting it out.”
