Las Animas Huerfano Counties District Health Department is working to complete Phases 1A and 1B of the COVID vaccination process

Las Animas Huerfano Counties District Health Department is working to complete Phases 1A and 1B of the COVID vaccination process above the dotted line as outlined by the State of Colorado and CDPHE. We have launched a COVID-19 Vaccine Registration Form at: https://form.jotform.com/210086599112051. This vaccine interest form will also be live on our website. We are building this database so that we can efficiently and equitably administer the limited vaccine doses that we are receiving. The guidance on phases from the CDC, ACIP and State continue to be a moving target. This database will allow us to pivot quickly to the continued changes. While filling out this form will inform us of the number of people in each phase, it does not guarantee a vaccine in any timeframe. When your time comes in the phases, you will be notified to schedule an appointment. LAHCDHD is emphasizing stringent precautionary steps to avoid a spike in new cases and to give businesses and schools in both counties a chance to remain open in Level Orange High Risk. The necessary steps that must be taken now by everyone to slow the spread of COVID-19 are:
