In his weekly report to the Eagle County Board of Commissioners, Emergency Management Director Birch Barron noted that as of this week, 58% of Eagle County’s residents have received at lease one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. That figure translates into nearly 32,000 doses.
Barron noted that 84 percent of county residents age 40 and older have been vaccinated. The county’s new push is to vaccinate more people in the 20- to 40-year-old age group. Disease spread figures from the state reflect the importance of having more young people vaccinated, Barron said.
“Vaccination is not only very effective at preventing disease, it is even more effective in preventing severe disease,” Barron said.
