(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Roger, a nurse anesthetist at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center who declined to give his last name, takes a selfie as he receives the COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday. Salt Lake City's George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center is one of 113 VA medical centers across the country to receive the first limited supply of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. As frontline health care workers in Utah hospitals continue to get vaccinations this week, those who work at long-term care facilities are scheduled to get their first doses Monday.
