COVID In Colorado: State-Run Vaccine Sites To Close By July 4

DENVER (CBS4) - Colorado's six community COVID-19 vaccine sites will close within the week. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says unvaccinated people should instead use local providers and pharmacies.

CDPHE says the six sites spanning from Pueblo to Mesa County and to Larimer County and Adams County administered nearly 389,000 vaccine doses. Officials say that amounts to about 12% of all vaccine dose.

The sites will be closed by July 4.

"This will help establish a more long-term, sustainable model for vaccinating more Coloradans and for any potential for booster vaccinations in the future," CDPHE stated in a news release on Monday.

CDPHE offered the following details on each of the community vaccine sites:
