(CBS4) – As more Coloradans get vaccinated, an unvaccinated group is seeing a worrisome increase in cases. The case rates for people between 11 and 17 have more than doubled since the start of April.
“We’re seeing more children who are either diagnosed or admitted. … That’s been going on for the last several weeks,” said Dr. Reginald Washington, chief medical officer at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.
Washington noted they are the unvaccinated. With older Coloradans getting vaccinated, the young are left to face the disease as it begins to spread more easily.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. In one week, the state will hand over control of COVID-19 restrictions to local municipalities.
The good news is, Coloradoâs most vulnerable group is protected.
And with about half-a-million doses of the vaccine being sent to Colorado each week, the governor is hopeful we can get out of this in the coming weeks and months.
Medical professionals in white coats were seen all over the state Capitol Friday, on hand to testify both for and against the Colorado Option Health Benefit Plan Act.
On the third try, House Bill 1232 got in front of the House Health & Insurance Committee Friday in a 10-hour hearing that drew more than 100 witnesses to the Capitol or to testify remotely.
But negotiations between bill sponsors and the healthcare industry that went on all day Friday meant that the bill was not ready for action, including amendments. That s now delayed until Tuesday.
