Health Matters on Midday: COVID Vaccine

Health Matters on Midday, where we dig into health topics you might be curious about. 

Vaccine skeptics and changing recommendations from the CDC are creating a lot of confusion about who should consider getting a COVID vaccine, and whether or not they will be able to get one if they want it. The State of Utah just changed its guidance for pharmacists, now allowing the COVID vaccine to be administered without a prescription.

Dr. Richard Ferguson is an emergency room doctor and the president of Black Physicians of Utah. He joins Maria Shilaos to break down who should get a COVID vaccine and why it's still important to remain vigilent when it comes to the disease, especially as the weather begins to turn.

As a respected journalist, Maria Shilaos has earned the trust of listeners across Utah. Her show isn’t just about the news—it’s about the people behind it. Join her each weekday as she digs deeper, asks the important questions, and shares the stories that connect us all.
