Please view and use the Ad Council’s “It’s Up To You” social media campaign we have partnered with, among other organizations like the AMA.

  3. Mobile vaccine buses to become available—Four mobile vaccination sites designed to reach underserved areas will launch in May and will work to vaccinate Coloradoans through June. These mobile clinics were designed to help serve rural and other minority areas.  The schedule will be posted soon, but they are set to begin in Southeastern Colorado.
