As schools come back in session, it is imperative that teens are also vaccinated
STATEWIDE, (August 2, 2021): The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and the Colorado School of Public Health released an updated statewide modeling report showing the projected impact of increased vaccine uptake in Colorado by Labor Day weekend. The models show that Colorado could still experience thousands more cases of severe, but avoidable, COVID-19 over the months ahead. Vaccination is the key to preventing these cases.
By comparing vaccination scenarios, the modeling shows that immediately increasing vaccination rates to 80% among adults (with at least one shot) will prevent substantial COVID-19 hospitalizations this fall. The model also looks at a 70% target for Colorado teen vaccinations as schools prepare to reopen, posing a risk for increasing infections in this age group.
