COLORADO (KRDO) -- Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said that beginning Feb. 8, people over the age of 65 and educators across the state will be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Pre-K-12 educators and child care workers will get information about receiving the vaccine from their employers.

People over the age of 65 can call the COVID-19 vaccine hotline at 1-877-CO VAX CO (1-877-268-2926) or visit this website.

The state's goal is to finish that stage, called Phase 1B.2, by March 5. At that point, the state hopes to move into Phase 1B.3, which will include more frontline essential workers along with Coloradans over the age of 16 with two or more comorbidities.
