Colorado Waitstaff, Cooks Eligible for Vaccine in March
As the vaccine rollout continues for the COVID-19 pandemic we are hearing that Colorado restaurant workers are now being moved up the list to receive the vaccine. These details were released by The Denver Channel, and confirmed by Governor Jared Polis s office that food service workers will be included in Phase 1B3 of the rollout which could begin in early March.
