Vaccinations underway for some of the public in rural Colorado
COSTILLA COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) Many counties in Southern Colorado are still preparing for the next phase phase in the vaccination process. However, some counties have already begun vaccinating the public, specifically their elderly population.
