              COVID-19 Vaccine Info

              Boulder Community Health (BCH) recognizes that many of our patients are wondering about their access to COVID-19 vaccines. While national distribution of vaccines has started, there are still some elements of that process being worked out, so we don’t yet know many important details.

              BCH has received initial shipments of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. We anticipate getting weekly vaccine shipments for the foreseeable future. At this point, we don’t know definitively how much vaccine we will receive in each weekly shipment.

              Distribution Plan

              Colorado’s plan to distribute COVID-19 vaccine is based on federal guidelines designed to dispense the limited supply of vaccines in an ethical and transparent way. Boulder Community Health (BCH), like all health systems, uses our available supply of vaccine to support the state’s plan within our community.

              It’s important to recognize that prioritization plans are subject to change based on new data about vaccines and the availability of vaccines.

              • Distribution of vaccine started with the highest-risk health care workers. These are the people who have direct contact with COVID-19 inpatients for longer periods of time as part of their jobs. This phase also included long-term care facility staff and residents.
              • The second group approved to be vaccinated was moderate-risk health care workers and first responders. This group included health care workers who do not have prolonged direct contact with COVID-19 patients along with Emergency Medical Services, firefighters, police and other first responders. BCH has started vaccinating people in this group.
              • The third group scheduled for vaccinations is individuals age 70 and older. Experience over 2020 has shown that individuals in that age group have a higher risk for hospitalization and death from COVID-19.

              The State has developed a plan for distributing vaccine to all Colorado citizens. BCH and other Colorado health systems will adhere to those guidelines. You can find updated information on Colorado’s plan here

              We anticipate that it will take the majority of this year to vaccinate all Coloradans.

              At this time, patients cannot make appointments to get the vaccine and we are not compiling waiting lists for vaccination, so there is no reason to call a BCH clinic regarding vaccination.

              We will update this page as we learn more.
