ISHA COVID-19 Resources and Vaccine Information

Vaccine Distribution Information

ISHA supports priority access to COVID-19 vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration for audiologists and speech-language pathologists who provide in-person assessment and treatment services.

As the COVID-19 vaccine distribution continues, we encourage you to review the distribution phases in Iowa to determine when you will be eligible for the vaccine. ISHA will continue to advocate for priority vaccine access for our members, recognizing that effective communication is essential and that our members will continue to provide needed services regardless of personal risk.
