If an individual is vaccinated, how should COVID-19 protocols, including masking, affect them? That question was posed to Breckenridge Town Council members at a meeting Tuesday, Jan. 12.
Breckenridge Mayor Eric Mamula said he and other mayors and managers in the county also discussed that scenario at a meeting Thursday, Jan. 7, with the mayor calling the situation “a headache.”
“The science is saying, vaccine or no, you still need to wear a mask because you can still be carrying and can still be shedding the virus,” Mamula said about what was discussed at the meeting last week.

Breckenridge Town Council appointed six community members to the Breckenridge Social Equity Advisory Commission at its work session Tuesday, Dec. 8.
The goal of the commission is to bring together individuals with varied backgrounds to offer a more diverse perspective for the town’s government. The commission’s first meeting will be held in January.
Jordan Burns, Alexandria Carns, Joyce De La Torre and Jason Smith will serve three-year terms on the commission while Isaura Cirillo and Tahja Grier will serve two-year terms. Assistant Town Manager Shannon Haynes wrote in her memo to council that the town received 41 applications for the commission and that the six individuals were selected to be recommended to council following interviews. Council approved the recommendations.
