(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Nurse Jana Arnold, disinfecting her covid-19 vaccination workspace on Friday, didn’t have many adults taking the pacifiers they put on the table. Jordan school district employees were invited to West Hills Middle School to receive their coronavirus vaccine on February 12, 2021.
The number of daily COVID-19 cases in Utah reached its lowest level since Sept. 9 and only one new death was reported Monday.
The average seven-day dose of vaccine in the arms increased slightly on Sunday, after decreasing most of the week. Sunday’s average was 12,411 doses administered daily, above Saturday’s average of 11,937, but well below the February 14 average of 15,723.
One of the reasons for last week’s decline, a Utah Department of Health spokesman said Monday, was that a 36,000-dose shipment of the Modern vaccine the state hoped to arrive last week was not due to bad weather in the U.S. East. Those doses are expected to arrive in Utah on Monday or Tuesday, the spokesman said.
