DENVER — Gov. Jared Polis on Friday gave more information about how Coloradans 70 and older can sign up to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, which is available to that population now, depending on the state's supply of doses.
Several major Colorado hospital systems have set up online signup portals, both for patients and people who have not visited those hospitals. The information released Friday provides some clarity for how older Coloradans, both those who have a primary care physician and those who do not, can receive the vaccine.
Polis last week announced Colorado was making 70-and-older residents eligible for the vaccine but little information was released on how Colorado would roll out the vaccine to that population.
Here's information about the healthcare providers that Polis presented Friday:
UC Health
UC Health is using its My Health Connection online patient portal to communicate with 70-and-up patients about when they are eligible to receive the vaccine. If someone does not have a My Health Connection account or are new to UC Health, they can sign up to be placed on a list to receive the vaccine.
Signup information can be found here.
Denver Health
Denver Health is working to contact and make appointments with 70-and-older patients who have received care at a Denver Health facility in the last three years. Denver Health is sending vaccine invitations through MyChart, which can be accessed here. You can also sign up for MyChart on the website.
Centura Health
All Centura Health patients will receive information directly from Centura about when they can receive the vaccine. Check your MyCenturaHealth patient portal for information about when you can receive the vaccine. Centura is working to make the vaccine available to everyone in the community and details will be posted on Centura.org when available.
