RELATED: Where Can I Get My COVID-19 Vaccination?

Chaffee County Public Health conducted its final first-dose community wide mass vaccination clinic this past Tuesday due to dwindling demand for appointments. Public Health will still offer Covid-19 vaccinations for the general public and hold smaller clinics and is developing plans for worksite and organization-based group vaccinations.   

Moving forward, people seeking a first-dose vaccination appointment can call 539-4510 or send an email to health@chaffeecounty.org to schedule.   

To date, over 16,000 Covid-19 vaccines have been administered to Chaffee County residents.
