Salt Lake County health officials encourage getting booster shots as new school year approaches
"In Salt Lake County at least, we’ve been really steady with about 3,000 new COVID cases every week, and that’s been the case for the past 8 weeks," said Salt Lake County executive director and medical director Dr. Angela Dunn.
"The fact that that’s remained steady for a couple months indicates that these new variants circulating aren’t causing more severe disease," Dunn said. "This one’s going to be reformulated specifically to target the Omicron variant, but also to predict the next variant that will be circulating in the fall," she said.
