University of Vermont Health Network, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital Vice President of Population Health and Information Services Dr. Wouter Rietsema was one of five panelists and called the available COVID vaccines “miraculous.” “We have vaccines that prevent 95% of a disease that’s unheard of in vaccinations,” Rietsema said, noting that a “good” flu vaccine was closer to the 50% range.

Early results released by the city clerk s office showed Henjum had garnered 5,302 votes 37.6% of ballots in the most competitive race of the evening and was likely to be elected to represent Colorado Springs’ central sector. It was one of six district races on the ballot that could determine the direction of council for the next four years.
Jill Gaebler, first elected to represent the district in 2013 and re-elected to a second term in 2017, is term-limited and cannot run again. I was believing I would win based on my campaigning, but there were five people running and it was competitive, Henjum said by phone from her home Tuesday night.
