Answer: The answer to your question is that Phase 1B will begin on February 1 at the latest, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. The department just released its recommendations to the public on Tuesday.

Groups in Phase 1B include people over 75 years of age, first responders, correctional and prison staff, state legislators, health inspectors, teachers, and more.

Local public health agencies will make decisions about who to vaccinate in these groups based on disease trends, risk of exposure and health equity.

You will probably know when we enter phase 1B through media reports.
