COVID-19 Vaccine Information:
- As of Oct. 11, 82.1% of eligible Broomfielders (age 12 and older) are fully vaccinated! In contrast, 71.1% of the total Broomfield population is fully vaccinated. As a reminder, there are over 9,500 of Broomfield children who are currently unable to get vaccinated due to their age (11 or younger).
- The FDA and CDC formally authorized a booster dose of Pfizer vaccine, at least six months after the second dose, for certain populations. Read more about the recommendation.
- It's time to start thinking about your flu shot! The 2020-2021 flu season was mild, likely due to both a record number of flu vaccine doses administered (193.8 million!) and COVID-19 mitigation efforts (like masking, staying home, handwashing, and physical distancing). Make a plan to get your flu shot in the next few weeks to stay healthy and prevent hospitalizations in the 2021-2022 flu season. If you haven't already received your COVID-19 vaccine, talk to your health care provider about receiving a flu shot and a COVID-19 vaccine in the same appointment! Find frequently asked questions about this flu season here.
- Find a COVID-19 vaccine near you at Broomfield.org/COVIDVaccine! If you have questions about vaccine distribution or safety, please call the state's hotline at 1.877.268.2926. Trained call center operators can give information in multiple languages.
