Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson hoping Utahns seek out COVID-19 vaccination before statewide mask mandate lifted

Salt Lake City - Utah's lieutenant governor is hoping even more Utahns will seek out a COVID-19 vaccination before the statewide mask mandate is lifted next month.  Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson says the state expects about 900-thousand Utahns will have their first dose by April 10th.

Henderson is urging Utahns to check now to see if they are eligible for a vaccination and to get one as soon as possible.  She says the pandemic's finish is in sight and is telling Utahns to keep running until they reach it.

Henderson says the state will still have less than half of its residents vaccinated by the time the mask mandate expires on April 10th.
