Where is Utah at with distributing the COVID-19 vaccine?

Where is Utah at with distributing the COVID-19 vaccine? © Provided by KUTV Salt Lake City As the state continues to roll out COVID-19 vaccines, the Utah Department of Health gave an update Wednesday about the distribution process.  They said the rollout has been slower than they wanted, but the process appears to be getting quicker.  Rich Lakin, immunization program manager for UDOH, said Utah has received about 40% fewer doses than initially anticipated. This could delay the vaccination process for healthcare workers and first responders, he said.  “There’s a large population of healthcare workers that we’d like to get through the vaccination before we move on,” Lakin said. “We’re hoping that’ll occur by the end of the month of January but the vaccine is going to drive the response.”

Pretty sobering : Southern Utah legislators describe tour of hospital, encourage caution ahead of Christmas

ST. GEORGE Utah Sen. Don Ipson can t think of anyone he knew that had been infected by COVID-19 during the summertime. That changed in the months between then and now. Ipson, R-St. George, said he now knows several people who have contracted it, been hospitalized, and even a few who have died from complications caused by it. Then, just weeks ago, he toured Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, with some of his legislator colleagues and witnessed firsthand the issues the hospital staff has to deal with to match the needs of COVID-19 patients. The tour was eye-opening, he said. Reflecting on it Tuesday, he called it humbling and scary. For him, it hit close to home because two of his granddaughters work in health care just like the staff he watched hard at work.
