COVID-19 vaccines await injection at the UCHealth COVID-19 mass vaccination clinic in the Coors Field parking lot Jan. 30, 2021.
UCHealth employees may soon be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, but for now, they can get paid to get the protection.
UCHealth plans to give $500 dollars to those among its 26,000 employees who are vaccinated. Contractors can also receive the bonus. The system operates 12 hospitals and about 700 individual clinics across Colorado, southern Wyoming and western Nebraska. The bonus applies to thousands of additional contractors, like those working as security guards or valets.
Those UCHealth workers who are now vaccinated will get the money in mid-July, and anyone who gets vaccinated between now and August 22 would get it on Sept. 3.

State officials say they ve found no reason for concern after investigating 11 people who reported adverse reactions to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine Wednesday, a small wave of side effects that prompted the closure of a mass vaccination site.
“After reviewing each patient’s symptoms, analyzing other vaccinations from the same lot of the vaccine and speaking with the CDC to confirm our findings, we are confident in saying that there is no reason for concern,” Eric France, Colorado s chief medical officer, said in a statement.
The 11 people who experienced the side effects, which included light headedness, fainting, nausea and some vomiting, were a small segment of 1,700 people who also received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at Dick s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday. Centura, the health system running the Dick s site, said earlier Thursday that the state was investigating the incident.
