Humboldt County, IA – Humboldt County health care providers are now opening up their public vaccination clinics to all adults with medical conditions that could increase the risk of severe illness from COVID-19.

The groups eligible include adults 65 years of age or older. First responders, educators and childcare workers are included. The third group are adults ages 18-64 years old that are or might be at an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 due to medical conditions.
