COLORADO SPRINGS â Gone are the times of waiting in long lines at mass vaccination sites.
If you want the COVID-19 vaccine, you can get it. Everyone age 12 and older is eligible.
While many of the state-run, mass-vax sites are closed, there are still numerous locations around Colorado where you can get the vaccine. Between community sites, clinics, and pharmacies, there are a number of options. There are also now more locations than ever accepting walk-ins and not requiring an appointment.
In El Paso County, there are two upcoming vaccine clinics:
Colorado Mobile Vaccine Clinic - July 24, 6 p.m.-11 p.m. at 2354 S. Academy Blvd.
El Paso County equity vaccine clinics open for minorities this weekend
EL PASO Co., Colorado (KRDO) Thousands of doses are available for minority residents in El Paso County this weekend.
El Paso County Public Health and Servicios de la Raza, UCHealth, and Peak Vista Community Health Centers are simultaneously offering free pop-up equity vaccine clinics spread out over Friday and Saturday.
The goal is to eliminate barriers to fair vaccine allocation, according to county public health leaders.
Minority residents 65 and older will be able to participate by getting an appointment. No ID is required to get the vaccine.
There will also be bilingual staff and translators at the events.
