During a February 9 press conference, Governor Jared Polis politely but firmly rejected Denver s request to prioritize members of its homeless population for vaccination against COVID-19. But Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, speaking at his own press conference today, February 11, refused to take no for an answer. Instead, he continued to stress the need for getting members of the city s unhoused population inoculated as soon as possible, and revealed that if the federal government agrees to directly ship medication to cities, as he hopes, he ll devote some of the supply to that purpose.
Hancock also countered Polis s assertion that more people will die if homeless individuals younger than 65 are pushed ahead of seniors in the vaccination line by suggesting that his efforts would prevent different kinds of fatalities.
