Amid federal vaccine uncertainty, Colorado takes steps to ensure access to COVID-19 vaccines

“I applaud Gov. Polis and CDPHE for acting quickly to help ensure Coloradans can easily access updated COVID-19 vaccines this fall. Clear, convenient access is essential,” said David Higgins, a pediatrician at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. He was part of a stakeholder group that helped craft a new law passed in the last legislative session to give the state’s board of health additional flexibility when making vaccine recommendations.
