  • TODAY: Earlier today, the Salt Lake County Health Department (SLCoHD) reported that measles is actively spreading in the county. SLCoHD's Nicholas Rupp shares vaccine recommendations, which vary based on age and vaccination history. 

    • People who are unsure of their vaccination status can check their records through their health care provider or the secure Docket app. If records are unavailable, receiving an additional dose of MMR is safe. The vaccine is widely available at pharmacies, medical offices, and SLCoHD immunization clinics; call 385-468-SHOT to schedule a vaccination appointment at a health department clinic.

    • Health care providers should report suspect measles cases immediately to SLCoHD by calling 385-468-8888; instructions are available on that line for disease reporting, including after-hours.

Utah State Lawmakers + 'Transparency Bills' = Judicial Independence?

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has already signed bills changing and challenging the independence of Utah's Judiciary, a co-equal branch of government. Joining us tonight to sort through the implications will be Utah State Bar President Kim Cordova and Young Lawyers Division President Alex Vandiver.
