COVID-19 vaccine appointments are filling up in a matter of minutes in southwest Utah, and that’s left many senior residents frustrated.
The region has around 35,000 people 70 years of age and older, according to Dave Heaton, a spokesperson for the Southwest Utah Public Health Department. Vaccine appointments usually go live at 9 a.m. on Mondays for seniors, along with frontline workers and teachers.
Elaine Cottam Stephens was waiting online to get one for her husband in Iron County Monday. Stephens works at a grocery store and is in her 60s, but is concerned about her husband, who is over 70 and has various health conditions.
