"If people want to regain potentially some of their summer and travel, and the economic viability of their community and state and their quality of life … then they put in the time now," Dr. Mark Dowell said.

Natrona County residents 65 years and older, as well as those between 16 and 65 years old with certain health conditions, can now add themselves to the waitlist.

With the latest deaths, there have now been 647 coronavirus-related deaths in Wyoming since the pandemic arrived here in March.

Doses of the Moderna vaccine will not arrive in Wyoming this week. The state had expected to receive 5,700 first doses and 3,700 second doses of that vaccine.
