I'm also in Utah....in a rural county.
Things are beginning to open up around here. It's still VERY hit-and-miss, and you basically have to be persistent and checking and still get lucky with timing, but more and more possibilities are opening up.
My own county is currently on a 65+ yo status, but they've also (semi-quietly) opened it up to "all" educators, first responders, etc. I called my local health department last week to check my own "first responder" eligibility (I'm Wilderness First Responder certified), and was told that technically I was eligible, but that they were still prioritizing seniors, ........BUT they also just happened to have a couple of doses unspoken for that day and that I should come on down. Did so, and got my first does in about 10 minutes...easy and quick. Again, my timing just happened to be lucky.
Then, this morning it was announced that the Navajo Health System, in the county next to mine, just happened to have a decent sized surplus of doses today, and that they one-time opened availability to ALL adults (Navajo or not). Two of my co-workers just took off (an hour&half drive) to get theirs. They might still miss out as the doses might run out by then, but they took the chance....we'll see later today.
To be clear, the doses I'm talking about are basically left-overs. All providers are absolutely prioritizing the class of folks that are currently "in line", (ie: seniors, HC workers, etc.). But on any given day there are sometimes a couple/few doses that had not been used or scheduled for any numbers of reasons, and it makes way more sense to use them up and vaccinate people rather than have them go to waste. Mine was like this....even though I'm technically eligible, I would not be able to schedule a regular appointment...again, I got lucky with the timing, as some others are doing now. And doses aren't going to waste, and more folks are being vaccinated.....good news all around. This works in a small population area, but would probably be less practical in places where 100's or 1000's of people are being vaccinated every day.
Things are moving in the right direction, still a long way to go but we seem to be on the right trajectory at least.
Stay safe and healthy folks,
