El Paso County update on COVID vaccine for seniors 70+
EL PASO COUNTY (KRDO) For the more than 65,000 seniors who are 70 years old and older, El Paso County is actively vaccinating them as quickly as vaccines are received from the state.
There is a limited supply of vaccines, but El Paso County expects to receive increased doses from the state in the coming weeks.
Based on the need to provide two doses to each of the approximately 65,000 people 70 and older in the county, the process will likely take at least through the end of February.
If you have registered for a vaccine with one of the county s providers, know that they will contact you as soon as your vaccine is available,
El Paso County Public Health confirms it has entered Phase 1B of the state’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan, which largely includes immunizing people 70 and older.
