Idaho Gov. Brad Little warns of school interruptions if more donât get COVID vaccine Hayat Norimine, Idaho Statesman Updated at Share This BOISE (Idaho Statesman) — Idaho Gov. Brad Little on Tuesday urged more adults and teens to get vaccinated against COVID-19, warning the public that schools could be disrupted as variants are spreading. âSimply put, we need more Idahoans to choose to receive the vaccine for kids to have a chance at a normal school year, one that is entirely in person, without outbreaks and quarantines,â Little said at a press conference. Idaho has lagged behind national averages on COVID-19 vaccination rates. In Idaho, just over 50% of those 12 and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to the state, compared to the 67.6% national average.
