SALT LAKE CITY – Government Spencer Cox announced in its monthly briefing on Thursday that Utahns aged 65 to 69 are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine immediately.
WATCH: Winter storms lead to temporary COVID-19 vaccine shortages in Utah
The move, which is possible due to the increase in doses delivered to Utah, comes nearly two weeks before the planned age extension of vaccinations.
Cox said the state has vaccinated 62 percent of eligible residents until Thursday morning. He added that the percentages in some provinces are even higher.
As some provinces have more doses available than others, Cox urges patience on those seeking an appointment with the vaccine.

“We ask for your continued patience as this will flood phone lines and servers, and more and more people will try to sign up,” Cox said.
The governor added that March 1 will be the scheduled date for Utah residents with underlying medical conditions to be eligible for vaccination.
