A cat in Owyhee County has tested positive for rabies, public health officials said on Wednesday. It is the first rabid cat detected in Idaho in almost 30 years.

Last week, a group of Idaho lawmakers made moves to have our state be the latest to declare pornography a risk to public health. The motion has moved to the House floor.

Public Health and medical officials are saying increased vaccination rates are good news for our state.  In recently released data from 2015, 86.7 percent of Idaho students were vaccinated.
