Covid-19 vaccinations to begin in St. George Wednesday

Wednesday will be V-Day for St. George.

That's the day vaccinations for Covid-19 will begin to be administered by Intermountain Healthcare, according to IHC doctors and administrators.

In a Zoom press conference Monday morning, IHC officials said the logistics make it difficult to begin the process before Wednesday, but that the process will be going "full bore" then.

IHC leaders also stated that those who are eligible to receive the vaccine, produced by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, will be notified via two separate emails.

"The first email ... will be to let them know they are eligible .. and what to expect," said IHC Dr. Kristin Dascombe. "The second email will let them know what to expect and when they need to come in and get their vaccination."
