A COVID-19 vaccine notification system has been launched for Boulder County residents who would like to be notified about where and when to get their vaccine when it becomes available for their priority group. You can sign up for the notifications here. "There is now a dotted line separating 1B workers, with individuals 70 and older above the dotted line and frontline essential workers below the dotted line," said Indira Gujral, communicable disease and emergency management division manager. "State health is telling us that all vaccine providers need to focus on the 1B group above the dotted line before they can move to the populations identified below the dotted line, this means that teachers and other frontline workers in transportation, grocery stores, etc. will be next after we provide the vaccine to the nearly 30,000 residents who are 70 years of age and older."
