DENVER So far in Colorado, more white Coloradans have gotten their COVID-19 vaccine than those who are Black or Hispanic, according to statewide data. It s a disparity that Colorado Governor Jared Polis has called unacceptable.
The state is making more aggressive efforts to reach communities of color by bringing the vaccine directly to them where they live. Governor Polis visited several of those popup vaccine clinics Saturday, including Dahlia Square Senior Apartments, a senior center in a historically African American Denver neighborhood.
