IOWA – The officials did not name the five counties while discussing the decision with AARP members.
A new state rule requiring the use of at least 80% of a county’s vaccination allotment is designed to reduce the amount of vaccine sitting in storage.
The decision was not intended to punish the counties but to give them a little bit of a break to catch up.
The counties will be given their full allocation the next week if they meet the 80% target.
