Colorado Coronavirus Vaccination Progress Update: April 21
Here's the latest information about how many Coloradans have been vaccinated and which counties have the highest vaccination rates.
More than 2.3 million Coloradans have received at least their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, according to state data. More than 1.5 million Coloradans — around 26 percent of the state's population — are fully immunized.
More than 1,300 health care providers and clinics in Colorado are offering vaccines. Everyone who wants to be vaccinated should be able to receive their first appointment by the end of May, Gov. Jared Polis said.
