Thousands of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered already in Mesa County, and local health officials are ready to handle the thousands of more residents looking to be inoculated.
As the countyâs vaccine distribution plan moves from the highest prioritized individuals on down the list, Mesa County Public Health and its community partners have been pleased with how smoothly the operation has run so far.
With more than 6,800 doses received and more than 3,400 doses given, according to numbers last updated Monday, the county is 8% of the way through the first phase of distribution.
Among those getting the vaccine in Phase 1 are highest-risk health care workers, long-term care facility staff and residents, emergency services, first responders, people 70 and older and other health care staff.
My daughter-in-law convinced me to try one of those clothing subscriptions where you answer a few questions online regarding your style preferences and they send a mystery box of clothes, personally hand-picked for you by a stylist.
I hesitated at first, knowing my closet needs purged of most of the pieces already crammed in there, but Lacie was excited about her recent shipment and suggested I try it also (with the link provided so she could get a discount on future purchases).

The Palisade Rim Trail was closed for one day this week due to what Mesa County Sheriffâs Office spokesperson Megan Terlecky said was an unusual call for her office.
At about 10:25 a.m. on Wednesday a woman reported that an unknown man hit her with a rock and attempted to take her keys from her while she was hiking on the trail. She was able to get away with minor injuries and call for help, according to the MCSO.
No suspect was found.
Multiple law enforcement agencies searched the area extensively on foot, with a K-9 unit, drones and a multi-mission aircraft with infrared equipment, the sheriffâs office reports. Investigators were confident that the suspect is no longer in the area.
