Boulder County Provides Coronavirus Vaccine Distribution Update

BOULDER COUNTY, CO — People ages 70 and older in Boulder County are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but the allocation of doses remains very limited, Boulder County Public Health said.

“The providers in the county are ready to provide immunizations, but we only receive about 3,000 doses each week, for the entire county,” said Chris Campbell, Boulder County Public Health emergency manager.

“Because there are 30,000 Boulder County residents who are 70 or older and about 3,000 moderate-risk healthcare providers yet to receive the vaccine, we expect it will take about seven weeks to provide the vaccine to everyone who would like it.”

Appointments for the vaccine are likely full now due to the very limited vaccine supply, county officials said. Residents can still sign up with their medical provider — such as Kaiser Permanente — or a hospital affiliated with their medical provider.

“We understand that the signup and waitlist processes have been frustrating,” said Chana Goussetis, a spokesperson with Boulder County Public Health.

“We hope to have a longer-term solution to make this easier, but we wanted to get the information to the community in the meantime.”
