Colorado is currently in Phase 1B.2 and will move to Phase 1B.3 on Friday, March 5th. Although library workers have not specifically been named as a group, we have received confirmation from the Colorado Department of Health that library workers could likely be included in the Phase 1B.4 vaccine rollout which is scheduled sometime in March. Guidance on the vaccine can change quickly! We are in close contact with the Pueblo Department of Health and Environment and will work to keep you informed as soon as we receive updated information.

List of Vaccine locations by State
NOTE: Vaccine supplies are somewhat limited, however, Governor Polis announced yesterday, March 2nd, that the state currently is receiving around 260,000 doses per week. This is expected to nearly double by early April to over 400,000 doses per week. The state is looking to set up large vaccine clinics around CO to distribute the doses. Pueblo is on their list.
Most vaccine sites require you to schedule an appointment online or by phone. Appointments can be very hard to get, as available time slots are booked quickly, and you may experience long wait times on the phone. If a time slot is not available, you may be put on the site’s waiting list. Once you have a confirmed appointment, public health officials ask that you don’t schedule or confirm another with any other provider so that vaccine appointments stay open for others.
