75% of adult Coloradans have at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine

COLORADO (KRDO) -- Governor Jared Polis announced as of August 31, 75% of adult Coloradans have been vaccinated with at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.

According to the state, Colorado has averaged around 4,300 vaccines a day among people 12 and up within the past week. Roughly 55% of people between 12 and 17 have received at least one dose.

This is a pivotal moment for our community as Coloradans continue to make progress in the fight against COVID-19 and dangerous and contagious variants like the Delta. More and more people are getting off the sidelines and protecting themselves. But we need more Coloradans to safeguard their health and the health of their loved ones against this deadly virus so I urge Coloradans to get the safe, effective, and FDA-approved vaccine. Get vaccinated today to protect our progress, safeguard in-person learning for our students, and to help our economy build back better.

Gov. Jared Polis

There are now 3,306,227 Coloradans fully vaccinated against the virus.
