🧵Thanks to everyone reaching out and asking #COVID19Vaccine questions in my DMs. I'm SO HAPPY to see how many of you are eager to get your vaccine. I know getting an appt. has been difficult due to the overwhelming demand. @StLukesHealth made a few changes to help it be easier:
2/ @Stlukeshealth expanded online resources so you can view our #COVID19vaccine supply, administration & efficiency rates. 3rd tab on our #COVID19 data dashboard. Data is updated once a week and represents a specific point in time for the previous week. stlukesonline.org/health-service…
3/ We also took several steps to streamline our appt. processes through myChart and through @Stlukeshealth Connect, so anyone seeking an appointment can quickly get information about appointment availability. (208)381-9500 stlukesonline.org/mychart
4/ @StLukesHealth is taking internal measures to make sure older, more at-risk, vulnerable vaccine candidates can better access appts. We're conducting outreach among older patients, making additional accommodations through online platforms, call centers, dedicated clinics.
5/ At this time we're focusing on 75+ group to ensure those most vulnerable can access limited appts available. As the % of those vaccinated goes up & our vaccine allotment increases, more appts will be available to those in other state-approved groups. stlukesonline.org/health-service…
6/ This past weekend, @StLukesHealth held #COVID19vaccine clinics in Nampa, Twin Falls & Wood River. We vaccinated 1,946 individuals. And this is exciting: our first booster vaccine clinic is this weekend!
7/ Please know we open new appts each week as vaccine is available, based on updates we receive the previous week from public health districts about our allocation. Scheduling on a week-to-week basis ensures we have the vaccine to serve the patients who are signed up.
8/ We encourage you to check for appointments at your convenience or about once a day. Remember, estimates are it will take about ten weeks total to get through the current eligible groups. stlukesonline.org/health-service… Thanks!

.@CDHidaho reporting recent wastewater samples submitted from the communities of Boise City, Eagle, and Garden City have identified the presence of the UK and California variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
.@CDHidaho says analysis of the samples revealed:
•Low levels of UK variant (B.1.1.7) detected in Boise City/wastewater. This variant accounted for 2% of the virus that was sequenced.
•Low levels of CA variant detected. Accounted for 2% of the virus that was sequenced.
.@CDHidaho says, "Though recent wastewater testing detected low levels of these 2 variants, ID has yet to confirm the presence of the variants among individuals who have tested positive... “yet, we have presumed the variants were circulating in Idaho."

🧵We need your help: @Stlukeshealth, along w/ @GovernorLittle, the heads of many Idaho businesses, other hospitals & experts who've worked to suppress COVID-19 are extremely concerned about pending legislation that could reverse the inroads we've made to defeat this pandemic.
2/ Senate Concurrent Resolution 101 would revoke Idaho's emergency declaration regarding the pandemic. @GovernorLittle came out strongly in opposition, saying ending the emergency declaration would make it more difficult/expensive to fight the virus. @StLukesHealth leaders agree.
3/ As members of the health care community, we know that we have a long way to go, but that we can restore elements of the Idaho life we all treasure if we continue to avail ourselves of the practices and resources needed to successfully suppress this virus.

"As I watched patients literally dancing their way through the doors because it was their turn to get this #COVID19vaccine and have hope, I found myself humbled to be part of this great @StLukesHealth event." idahostatesman.com/news/coronavir… @IdahoStatesman
🧵More observations from a @StLukesHealth nurse leader about the #COVID19Vaccine event: "Titles had no meaning. We had doctors standing watch at doors directing traffic, managers wiping down work stations for the next patient, staff standing in the cold directing traffic..."
..."One of the most beautiful things happened: A lady who was so scared of receiving a shot began singing, “You Are My Sunshine,” as the wonderful PA-C administered her #COVID19vaccine. We all began to cry. This lady was so relieved to have hope she sang about it." @StLukesHealth

🧵 CEOs of many of Idaho’s largest employers, representing nearly 40,000 employees, issued the following statement regarding legislative efforts to end the federal emergency declaration,
@StLukesHealth included:
2/ @GovernorLittle issued a stark warning about efforts taking place in the Idaho Legislature to rescind the federal emergency declaration for Idaho’s coronavirus response. We join him in opposition of this effort and share his concern for the grave consequences it would have...
3/ ...for Idaho businesses and our employees. We all want to do something - take some action - to move us closer to the normalcy we long for. But this legislation, rather than jumpstarting that transition, runs the risk of causing Idaho companies to fall behind our neighbors...

🧵The winter months are a difficult time for collecting blood, & COVID-19 isn’t making it any easier this year. But cancer patients, expecting mothers, accident victims and countless others are depending on us to keep hospital shelves stocked. @StLukesHealth leaders have an idea:
PLEASE JOIN OUR @StLukesHealth LEADERSHIP BLOOD CHALLENGE! On 2/2, @RedCrossIdaho debuts the challenge on the 14th floor of the One Capitol Center from 9a-3p. We’re asking Boise executives and community leaders to donate blood while challenging their peers to do the same. Image
.@GovernorLittle, a long-time @RedCrossIdaho blood donor, will kick it off by proclaiming 2/2 as “Red Cross Day in Idaho” & will donate blood. @StLukesHealth leaders are hoping you will also donate blood and challenge your colleagues and peers at other companies to do the same.
