COVID-19 Vaccine
Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine will also help keep you from getting seriously ill, even if you get COVID-19.
Where to Get Vaccinated
You can now just drive up or walk up for a FREE COVID-19 vaccine -- no appointment needed -- at the following community clinics.
- Colorado State Fairgrounds
- The Ranch
- Ball Arena
Visit cocovidvaccine.org for more information or to find and make a vaccination appointment at other locations near you. You can also call the vaccination hotline where representatives can answer questions and help you make vaccination appointments. The number is 1-877-268-2926.
Vaccine Safety and Monitoring
COVID-19 vaccines were produced based on years of research from scientists worldwide and have proven to be safe and effective. Medical experts and independent doctors have evaluated the vaccine in tens of thousands of volunteers from diverse backgrounds – just like other vaccines. Learn more facts about COVID-19 vaccines from the CDC.
Vaccine Side Effects
After the COVID-19 vaccination, you may have some side effects. These are normal signs that your body is building protection. The side effects from the COVID-19 vaccination, such as chills or tiredness, may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. Learn more about what to expect after getting vaccinated.
