This is the final week of operation for the mass vaccination clinic at the Utah Film Studios, an experiment in logistics and public health unprecedented in the history of Summit County and one that, much to the county health director’s surprise, lasted fewer than six months.
“Early on, I was forecasting we’d be well into July before we hit any significant level of vaccine uptake that would be protective of us,” Health Director Rich Bullough said. “I’m thrilled to say I’m off by six or eight weeks.”
Bullough stopped short of saying the county had reached herd immunity, indicating that an influx of summertime visitors would make it difficult to track the vaccination level at any given time.
