Get protected in time for the fall and winter by signing up for your omicron vaccine appointment today. Walk-ups are also accepted while supplies last.

Anyone aged 12 and older who has completed a primary vaccine series can get an omicron dose including people who have received any number of booster doses. The Colorado Department of Health & Environment is recommending getting your omicron dose at least two months after you finished your primary series or received your most recent booster dose.

People 18 and older can get either a Pfizer or Moderna dose regardless of previous vaccine types but people 12-17 can only get the Pfizer dose.

So far this year, El Paso County has seen a total of 160,942 cases with over 6,008 hospitalizations. Of those hospitalizations, 1,173 people have died from COVID-19 according to El Paso County Public Health data.
