Data shows vaccinations are dropping amid 5th COVID surge in Colorado
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) — According to the Colorado Department of Public Health, in the last month, the demand for vaccinations is appearing to drop off.
For the week of September 5th, there were a total of 9,144 doses administered in El Paso County including local clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies. For the week of September 12th, there were only 3,465 vaccines administered.
As employer vaccine mandates deadlines near at end of September, the Colorado Department of Health expects to see the demand for the vaccine pick up.
As a result, four large community vaccination sites will provide additional capacity from September 20-30 to meet the potential increase - each site will now be able to accommodate up to 1,000 doses per day.
