Over 146,000 Iowans have completed COVID-19 vaccinations

In the nearly 10 weeks since the first COVID-19 vaccines were administered in Iowa, 146,050 people in the state had completed receiving both of the required doses as of Sunday morning, state records show.That was an increase of 2,384 people over the total reported a day earlier by Iowa public health officials.Iowa remains in Phase 1B of the rollout — focusing on people age 65 and over, first responders and schoolteachers among other priorities.Residents who qualify in this round widely report frustrations with trying to get appointments — some comparing the process to the dystopian “Hunger Games” — as state officials have canceled plans without much explanation to create a centralized website and a call center for appointments.State officials have not said when this phase of the rollout is expected to be completed and the vaccine made more widely available, though it could be some time.There are about 660,000 Iowans eligible under Phase 1B that began Feb.
