Utah’s vaccine administration peaked on April 11 at a 7-day average of 30,753 and as of April 20, the 7-day average was 22,146. But, demand is low in some areas.
With the number of doses given on a downward trend, Rich Lakin, the Utah Department of Health’s immunization director, says we might be in jeopardy of not reaching herd immunity.

Dr. Angela Dunn Leaving As State Epidemiologist To Lead Salt Lake County
Utah’s epidemiologist Angela Dunn is leaving the state’s department of health to lead the Salt Lake County Health Department. In a statement Tuesday, UDOH said it’s “hard to overstate” the life saving contributions Dunn made to the state’s COVID-19 response. She sometimes found herself at odds with elected officials over the past year in how the state was handling the pandemic. But Dunn has been a mainstay at COVID press conferences since last summer. She is replacing Gary Edwards who has been with the county health department for the past 16 years. Her first day is June 1.
Utah was fortunate to have such a capable expert helping to guide the COVID response, and now SLCO is lucky to have her leading its health department
