(PUEBLO, COLO.) Thousands of new vaccination appointments are available at the Colorado State Fairgrounds site starting the week of April 12, the result of the transition of the Vaccines for All community vaccination site to a federal mass vaccination pilot site. The continued partnership of the State of Colorado, Centura Health, and federal partners led by FEMA augments vaccination efforts already underway at the Fairgrounds.
The federal support includes thousands of doses of additional vaccine in the coming weeks and staffing help from an Army medical team primarily from Fort Carson. The team includes 110 medics, 10 nurses, two doctors, and two physician’s assistants.
In Colorado, vaccination is highly encouraged for everyone age 16 and older. The fairgrounds is a non-enforcement area for immigration.
Registration for an appointment remains the same and can be done online or over the phone.
