What did they all have in common?
They were all waiting the required 15 minutes Tuesday after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in the Jackson Hole Middle School gym. The kids were part of the newest cohort of people eligible for vaccination after the federal government approved the Pfizer immunization for use in children as young as 12.
âIâm just a little nervous,â seventh-grader Ryan Glick said. âMostly because I donât know how Iâm going to feel.â
Ryan didnât appear to feel any ill effects after her shot, though many people do have stronger side effects after the second dose. The middle schoolers seemed excited to get their vaccines, even though they were â for the most part â able to stay seated during the waiting period.
As other counties and states make headlines by tying COVID-19 vaccinations to benefits like free drinks, Teton County is wondering what role it can play in incentivizing people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
No decisions have been made and the Teton County Board of County Commissioners is not unanimous in what it wants to do, if anything.
But it did begin the conversation Monday when Commissioner Luther Propst asked to hear more from the Teton County Health Department about what would be helpful.
After that morningâs meeting, Propst told the News&Guide he didnât want a resurgence of the virus. COVID-19 case levels have been low, with the county reporting a seven-day average of daily new cases at 2.3 Sunday. Thatâs the lowest level seen in Jackson Hole since the end of June 2020, when cases began to climb towards their summer peak. With that and a relatively high vaccination rate as a backdrop, county officials met in-person and mostly unmasked Monday morning â
Though you have to wait until next year to buy cheap home goods and sundries at Target, you will be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine there soon.Â
With little fanfare, the Teton County Board of County Commissioners approved a contract to use the old Kmart/future Target building as a mass vaccination clinic. Vaccine supply has finally increased to the point that the Teton County Health Department has been on the hunt for a larger-capacity site.
Mass vaccination clinics have been taking place at the Presbyterian Church of Jackson Hole, but the capacity is limited to 400 to 500 shots a day. The choke point is the waiting area, because people have to stay for 15 minutes after the inoculation so health care workers can monitor them for adverse reactions.
