Source: Iowa Department of Public Health
Answer: The answer to your question is that Phase 1B starts no later than Feb. 1, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. The department released its recommendations to the public on Tuesday.
The groups in phase 1B include people over 75, first responders, judicial personnel and inmates, state legislators, health inspectors, teachers, and more.
Local public health authorities will then make decisions about who should be vaccinated in those groups based on disease trends, exposure risk, and health equality.
You will likely know when we enter Phase 1B through media posts.
