News and Announcements - PBHL Newsletter April 9, 2021

PBHL Header

All adults ages 16 and up are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in Colorado

The Auraria Campus’ 5th Street Garage vaccine distribution site is now open to all CU Denver students, faculty, and staff! You can schedule an appointment now for clinics starting on Friday, April 9. Scheduling is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The new open scheduling template will be available exclusively to Auraria Campus students, faculty, and staff. There are also several mass vaccination sites across the state, including at Ball Arena and Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Many Denver-area pharmacies such as Walgreens, King Soopers, and Safeway also have appointments available - you can see where there are vaccines in stock near you with VaccineFinder. 

We strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated when and wherever you are able to get the first available appointment. The process of finding a vaccine appointment can be frustrating with so many of us eager to be able to gather again, but opportunities will open up. We hope to see you (safely) in person in Fall!
