COVID-19 Vaccine Information

All Utahns ages 16 and older can get the vaccine.


We encourage you to make an informed decision about getting vaccinated. Credible and accurate information on the COVID-19 vaccines can be found at https://coronavirus.utah.gov/vaccine.

If you have any questions, call the COVID-19 hotline at 1-800-456-7707. The hotline has language and translation services in more than 100 languages, including Spanish.

Remember, appointments fill up quickly, and depend on the number of doses received. New appointments and vaccine clinics will be added so keep trying if you can’t get an appointment the first time.

Resources and help to Navigate the Pandemic

The UDA is very proud to have been influential and recognized by the governor to have been a major factor in reopening of dental and medical offices. We are certain the offices following the ADA recommendations are finding the patients appreciate your efforts and feel comfortable to return to the dental office’s that are taking those recommended precautions. 

The Utah Dental Association and the American Dental Association have been the #1 advocates for dentistry in these unprecedented times. Many state and national efforts have been made to help dental professionals manage the Covid pandemic and the effects on the dental offices. The dental community and situation would look very different without the ADA and UDA’s help and influence.

We continually want to remind all Dentists and their Dental Team members to visit ADA.org/virus  often to see frequent updates and tools available to help patients and staff feel they are doing their best to minimize risks during dental treatments during this pandemic. New information becomes available almost daily.
