Despite a top doctor arguing against it, a health department in Idaho went ahead and voted to effectively ban providing COVID-19 vaccines, making it the first to do so in the nation.
Southwest District Health's board voted 4-3 in favor of the ban on Oct. 22 after more than 290 appeals were made to end vaccine mandates and taxpayers funding of the vaccines, despite that not being the case in the district, according to The Associated Press.
