Gov. Polis Celebrates Landmark Milestone of 2 Million Coloradans Fully Vaccinated
DENVER - Governor Jared Polis today announced that Colorado has passed a significant benchmark with more than two million Coloradans now fully vaccinated, this includes Coloradans who have received the Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. Currently, 2,674,623 people have received one dose, and 2,037,137 Coloradans are fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means 15 days after receiving the second Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or 15 days after receiving the “one and done” Jansen/Johnson and Johnson vaccine. There are currently 4.7 million Coloradans, those 16 and older, who are eligible to receive the vaccine.
“I want to congratulate every Coloradan who has received their vaccine. Not only are you protecting yourself, but you’re powering the Colorado comeback and energizing our economy,” said Governor Jared Polis. “And for everyone who is still unvaccinated, I want you to know that getting the vaccine is free, quick and easy. Make a plan today, and take the first step toward ending this pandemic and protecting your family. Vaccinated Coloradans are experiencing the joy of safely seeing their grandparents again, or finally getting together with friends for dinner without the fear or guilt of endangering their lives. There are even brighter days ahead Colorado, and this lifesaving vaccine is going to get us there.”
The State of Colorado has provided a variety of options for Coloradans to receive their vaccines. In addition to getting the vaccine through their local providers, Coloradans can visit one of the six Community Vaccination Sites around the state without needing an appointment, go to a clinic on one of the five mobile vaccination clinic routes, or stop by one of the community equity clinics hosted in partnership with community organizations in every corner of Colorado.
