SALT LAKE CITY — Representatives from the Davis County Health Department said the department has more than 10-thousand doses of the COVID-19 vaccine available to residents right now.

Approximately 4-thousand of the doses are first doses, or the initial dose which is received in a two-dose series. These doses are intended for teachers, first responders, and those Davis County residents who are age 70 or older.

The other 6-thousand doses, the Department said, are second doses, or the second dose received in a two-dose series.

If you live in Davis County, and are a teacher, first responder, or are age 70 or older, you can sign up at the Davis County webpage, here.

How To Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 Coronavirus

COVID-19 coronavirus spreads person to person, similar to the common cold and the flu. So, to prevent it from spreading:

Wash hands frequently and thoroughly, with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds.
Don’t touch your face.
Wear a mask to protect yourself and others per CDC recommendations.
Keep children and those with compromised immune systems away from someone who is coughing or sneezing (in this instance, at least six feet).
If there is an outbreak near you, practice social distancing (stay at home, instead of going to the movies, sports events, or other activities).
Get a flu shot.
