Salt Lake City, Utah — Utah hits 70% COVID-19 vaccine goal for people over 18.
According to Governor Spencer Cox’s office, 70% of those over the age of 18 have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
On Tuesday the governor’s office said that numbers kept by the Utah Department of Health showed the state around 65%. But when you factor in services like the VA hospital, tribal services, U.S. Department of Defense, etc., we climb to 70.2%.
Utah also has a very young population and it was only fairly recently that the CDC allowed vaccines to be given to people over the age of 12. In fact, roughly one-third of the state’s population is under 18.
The governor’s office praised UDOH and local health departments for their work to get people vaccinated in their post on Twitter.
