Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, right, looks on as the state’s first shipment of COVID-19 vaccine is put in a freezer by Patrick Belou, logisitics specialist at the laboratory for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, early Monday, Dec. 14, 2020, in east Denver. The state received 975 frozen vials of the vaccine, which will be distributed immediately.
The first shipment of COVID-19 vaccines arrived in Denver on Monday morning, marking the beginning of what’s likely to become a year-long effort to vaccinate millions of Coloradans and, ultimately, end the pandemic.
In a video streamed on Facebook, Gov. Jared Polis cheered as the doorbell rang at a loading bay inside the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Polis opened the door, and a FedEx delivery man asked him to sign for the vaccines.
