Dozens of people held at Utah prison receive COVID vaccines

DRAPER, Utah (AP) — Dozens of new inmates at the Utah State Prison in Draper have received a free dose of the COVID-19 vaccine from a mobile vaccination clinic. The Daily Herald reports the doses were provided Tuesday by Nomi Health, a direct health care company that has coordinated vaccination and coronavirus testing efforts across the state. Guards placed handcuffs on each person and their cellmate, then and walked them out one at a time to get their shot. Most inmates were quiet while they got their shots. One said he wanted to get the vaccine so he could see his young child on visitation days without putting them at risk.
