Giveaways may be a good way to prod some to get a COVID-19 vaccination in the short term, a professor in Salt Lake City says, but more practical considerations could be more effective, such as enough time off work to not only be inoculated but also to recover from any side effects.

PROVO Health departments in Utah and Salt Lake counties confirmed recent outbreaks of norovirus or a similar gastrointestinal illness in several long-term care facilities. We had some long-term care facilities that had large numbers, said Jennifer Hatfield, an epidemiology investigator and nurse with the Utah County Health Department. That s the concern because it spreads so easily, it s highly infectious, when it gets into a congregate setting it spreads fast.
Hatfield said the Utah County outbreak of norovirus included five care facilities and occurred from late March through April. A total of 288 cases were reported. Four people had to be hospitalized and one person died.
