Denver Community Vaccine Sites: Appointments No Longer Needed

DENVER, CO — Appointments are no longer needed at Denver's community vaccination sites, the city announced Friday.

Everyone ages 16 and older is eligible to get vaccinated at any of the sites, regardless of their ZIP code or residency status; however, teens ages 16 and 17 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian and go to a site that offers Pfizer doses.

Nearly one-third of Denver’s population is now fully immunized and more than half of Denverites have received one vaccine dose, public health officials said. Despite the progress, only 19 percent of Denver's eligible Hispanic/Latinx communities have been immunized, and the city aims to expand access by offering walk-up vaccinations at local sites.

Here's how you can get your free vaccine in Denver:

State-Run Site

Denver's Ball Arena: Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Sat/Sun 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
