Black churches, mosques becoming vaccination sites to reach Utah minority communities


| Updated: Feb. 18, 2021, 6:10 a.m.
COVID-19 vaccinations have been given in at least one Salt Lake County church and soon may be offered at several other religious sites — especially those serving minority communities.
Calvary Baptist Church, one of Salt Lake City’s oldest and most prominent Black congregations, gave 85 doses Monday and will do more starting March 1, when the age for eligible recipients drops to 65. Officials hope to have enough vaccine supply to offer them twice weekly.
The Point Church, a multicultural Baptist meetinghouse in Kearns, is in conversation with the Salt Lake County Health Department to begin offering vaccinations March 1.
