Utahns 75 and older will be first in line for COVID-19 vaccine in next phase of rollout

Employment in food services and other industries “no longer being considered” as a factor.

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) "I won't feel 100% safe until this all of this is over," said Riley Swain, 32, serving patrons at Harp and Hound, a pub in Ogden on Monday, but he said he's OK with letting those 75 and older get the coronavirus vaccine before he does. Gov. Gary Herbert's COVID-19 Unified Command on Monday, Dec. 28, 2020, adopted recommendations for Phase 2 of Utah's COVID-19 vaccine rollout, which includes removing food and restaurant workers from the list of people eligible to receive the vaccine early.
