Grand County children aged 5 to 11 can now get their Pfizer vaccine as early as next week. The Southeast Utah Health Department is hosting two by-appointment clinics Monday and Tuesday at HMK Elementary School, with more in the works. Now that vaccines are available to most school-age children, the schoolwide mask mandate will likely come to an end early next year. Plus, freelancer Holly Lammert files an audio essay on the concept of abundance, featuring highlights from the Youth Garden Project’s 2021 Harvest Festival.
Plus, the Weekly News Reel, where we speak with reporters about their latest stories of the Moab area. The Times-Independent’s Carter Pape talks election results – and tight city council races – as well as the sentencing of a driver in a fatal DUI crash. The Moab Sun News’ Alison Harford highlights their election coverage, the Moab Police Department's recent violation of an open records law, and a profile on the 2021 Community Artist in the Parks.
