To stay up to date on where vaccines are available the county maintains lists of both long-term vaccination clinics and special vaccination clinics. A list of clinics can be found here to help you find the site that works best for you. Boulder County's multiple transportation options have made changes to their services to make vaccine trips a top priority. Boulder County Transportation Options to Reach COVID-19 Vaccination Sites Opciones de transporte del Condado de Boulder para llegar a los sitios de vacunación contra el COVID-19 After receiving dozens of community comments on accessibility challenges present in the city's transportation infrastructure (sidewalks, curb ramps, multi-use paths, pedestrian crossings and access to transit stops), staff has created a draft ADA Self-Evaluation Plan. The plan provides background on applicable ADA-related policies/programs, an overview of key themes from community engagement and major gaps and challenges, with an initial dive into strategies to address these. This effort helps frame future accessibility upgrades to be prioritized in the forthcoming ADA Transition Plan (to be developed later in 2021).
