A variant of concern is defined as “variants of concern may spread easier, cause more severe disease, reduce the effectiveness of treatments or vaccine, or is harder to detect using current tests.”

COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution:
Kate McIntire reported that 1 million vaccines have been administered and Colorado is 86% to goal to vaccinate 70% of the 70+ population. Phase 1A is 100% complete and 90% of Phase 1B health care workers have been vaccinated.
It was also reported that winter storms across the United States did delay vaccine shipments to Colorado this week. Despite this, big efforts were made on February 17th to get back up to speed, and the expected shipments of the vaccine Colorado was to receive will begin today and continue to be delivered through Saturday.
