Covid-19 Vaccine Status Definition

Boulder County Public Health (BDPH), in alignment with CDC, will use the following language to refer to vaccine status:

Fully vaccinated means a person has received their primary series of COVID-19 vaccines. This means either 2 doses of a mRNA vaccine (Pfizer given 21 days apart or Moderna given 28 days apart) or 1 dose of Johnson and Johnson.

Up to date means a person has received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines, including any booster dose(s) when eligible.

To help stop the spread of Covid-19 and to prevent becoming seriously ill with Covid-19 it is recommended that everyone becomes up to date as soon as they are eligible.

Covid-19 testing clinics are held every Monday from 4-7 p.m. at the Nederland Community Center. Registration is not required but helpful. Go to https://www.affinityecarecolorado.com/co/
