Nomi Health Selected to Help Utah County Distribute COVID-19 Vaccine

Nomi Health, a Utah-based company organizing COVID-19 testing and vaccination efforts across the United States, announced Friday its company will assist Utah County with distributing the vaccine. Nomi is operating three facilities in Orem, Lehi and Vineyard, along with a mobile unit traveling to underserved populations, such as resident homes. The company is immunizing approximately 2,500-5,000 people per week.

 

Mark Newman, CEO and co-founder or Nomi Health, said his team has been “working tirelessly to ensure as many Utah County residents can get their shots and get back to life as they know it.”

 

Governor Spencer Cox announced yesterday that vaccine eligibility has expanded to include anyone aged 65 and older.
