Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed an executive order yesterday saying that everyone age 18 and over can get the Covid-19 booster shot.
The order declares the entire state of Colorado as being at high risk of exposure or transmission of Covid-19 and thus eligible for the booster shot.
The order goes on to say, “There are 1,492 individuals currently hospitalized due to COVID and only 623 hospital beds remain unoccupied across the state. 95 percent of Colorado’s intensive care beds are occupied and 94 percent of medical/surgical beds are occupied.”
The state is urging everyone age 18 and up who is six months past their second Pfizer or Moderna shot, or two months past their Johnson & Johnson shot, to get the booster shot to increase their body’s protection against Covid-19.
