READY FOR THE VACCINE? YOU CAN SIGN UP IN COLORADO, WITH ALL ADULTS ELIGIBLE

COLORADO SPRINGS — Every adult in Colorado is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The expanded access is a milestone for the state's vaccination efforts — by far, the largest group of eligible people to receive the shot.
But keep a little patience in mind if you're eager to get the vaccine. The state is still working to vaccinate many people from the large 1.B4 phase, which includes 50-and-older residents and essential workers, such as grocery store employees.
Gov. Jared Polis estimated that any Coloradan who wants the vaccine should be able to receive at least their first dose by the end of May.
Who is eligible for the vaccine as of Friday 4/2?
All Coloradans 16 and older will be eligible for the Pfizer vaccine. Eligibility for Moderna will be for Coloradans 18 and older.
Does this mean I'm guaranteed to receive the vaccine immediately?
No. However, it does mean you can begin signing up for a vaccine appointment and receive an appointment, depending on demand. As Colorado has expanded vaccine access, the state and health care providers have still prioritized people in previous eligibility groups, if they have not received the vaccine yet. Gov. Jared Polis estimated the vaccine rollout for 16-and-older residents will take 6-8 weeks.
Currently there are three main ways to sign up for a vaccine in Colorado: Through your healthcare provider, such as Denver Health, Centura, UC Health and others; through a pharmacy at King Soopers, Safeway, Walmart or Sam's Club; or through a community vaccination site, several of which have been set up in Colorado in recent weeks.
A good place to start would be the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's vaccine information page, which includes information on the pharmacy program, the community sites and list of every location — listed by county — where you can receive a vaccine.
As for the mobile vaccine clinics, the state is working on building a schedule for the buses, but for now you can look for availability near you at covid19.colorado.gov .
Many locations are now accepting walk-ups/drive-ups, including the State Fairgrounds site in Pueblo.
