Chaffee County Public Health says it is seeing increased demand for the anticipated Covid-19 vaccine but does not yet have access to doses. Officials are in regular contact with the Colorado Department of Health for updates, though final federal approval for this season’s vaccine has not yet been granted, leaving the availability timeline uncertain.

Mass vaccination clinics have already been scheduled, but Public Health says they may only be able to offer flu shots if the Covid-19 vaccine does not arrive in time.
