Cox outlined plans of an executive order to make sure this happens. A total of 89,431 vaccine doses had been reported administered as of Friday, less than half of the just under 199,000 doses that have been delivered to the state since the first shipments arrived at Salt Lake-area hospitals in mid-December, according to the Utah Department of Health.

About 23,970 vaccines have been administered, though there is a 24-hour reporting requirement from hospitals, health departments and other partners who are administering the vaccines, meaning that the actual number of people who have received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine is higher, said Rich Lakin, Utah Department of Health Immunization Program director.
