Ellis Linville, Sr., gets his second COVID-19 shot, from Dr. Sunita Sharma at Shorter AME Church in Denver, Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021.
Large-scale events are now part of the playbook in Colorado’s effort to distribute the COVID-19 vaccines equitably particularly to populations of color a feat the state has so far failed to achieve.
Hundreds of Coloradans ages 70 and older visited Denver’s National Western Complex Saturday to get immunized against coronavirus. On Sunday, Shorter Community African Methodist Episcopal Church in Denver held its second COVID-19 vaccination clinic in collaboration with UCHealth.
More than 500,000 Coloradans have now received at least one dose of the two-shot vaccine regimes from either Pfizer or Moderna, and about 165,000 of those folks have received both doses.
