Covid vaccine banned for first time in Idaho counties

Covid-19 vaccines have been banned for the first time by a US public health board over claims the risks now outweigh the benefits.

A health department in Idaho voted last week to stop administering Covid vaccines, becoming the first to do so across the US.
