Public Health Director Andrea Carlstrom told commissioners Monday, during the Chaffee County work session, that she has been asked to be on the state board of health.
Carlstrom said she had a meeting with the state this week to find out more of what that would entail, and said it was quite an honor.
She delivered a report to the commissioners, meeting as the county board of health, detailing the most recent COVID-19 vaccination rates. Chaffee County was recently fifth in the state for total doses of COVID-19 administered to county residents per 100,000 people.
The board also heard a Department of Human Services report from Dave Henson of Child Protective services.
