Colorado has reached its goal in the percentage of people 70 and older that state public health officials had hoped would get the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov. Jared Polis announced Tuesday. As of Sunday, nearly 71% of people in that age group and older had received at least their first dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, a level that is greatly helping to reduce the number of deaths and hospitalizations due to the coronavirus, the governor said. âI hope thereâs more folks out there 70 and up who are willing to roll up their (sleeves) and get the vaccine,â Polis said. âYou are still a priority. We want to make sure you have that opportunity this week, as soon as possible, tomorrow, the next day.â
