Colorado is currently vaccinating eligible Coloradans for Phase 2 – the general public, 12 and over. The intent of this classification is to vaccinate any Coloradans who were not included in earlier phases because they have a lower risk of exposure or are less likely to have severe outcomes from COVID-19. When You Get Vaccinated: Please wear a mask. You should receive a vaccination card or printout that tells you which COVID-19 vaccine you received, the date you received it, and where you received it. You should also receive a fact sheet with more information about the risks and benefits of that specific vaccine. All individuals who receive a vaccine will be monitored on-site for 15 minutes. After Your Vaccination: You will need two shots in order for the vaccine to work. Your second dose appointment will be scheduled at the time you receive your first dose. Plan to get the second shot even if you have side effects after the first one, unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to.
