Colorado prepares to distribute first shipments of COVID-19 vaccine to health care facilies throughout state

Remote, Colo. (Dec. 11, 2020): In ancipaon of the first shipments of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines in December, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has collaborated closely with local public health agencies across the state to prepare health care facilies to receive the vaccine. These health care facilies will then distribute the vaccine to frontline health care workers.

CDPHE has iden fied loca ons across the state with ultra-low temperature freezers to receive the first shipment of the Pfizer vaccine. These loca ons were chosen for their unique abilies to store, monitor, and handle vaccines in ultra-cold temperatures (-60°C to -80°C), as well as their willingness to redistribute COVID-19 vaccine(s) to other providers in their regions. The state also considered equitable geographic distribuon as well as transportaon logiscs given expected winter condions in the coming months. To be as equitable as possible, the state also purchased 10 ultra-cold storage units. CDPHE has distributed 8 of these and the remaining two will be distributed today.

The federal government will deliver a shipment of the Moderna vaccine shortly aer the first shipment of the Pfizer vaccine. The Moderna vaccine does not need to be stored at ultra-cold temperatures, allowing it to be distributed even further, especially to rural areas.

Colorado is reques ng enough vaccines to provide for all Coloradans. Because of supply chain limita ons, we expect we will receive regular COVID-19 vaccine alloca ons from the federal government on a weekly basis. To be as fair and efficient with distribuon as possible, the state has developed a phased approach to vaccine distribuon to save lives and end the crisis that has been brought on by the pandemic as quickly as possible. The federal government is determining the alloca on amount by the size of every state’s total populaon and the quanty of ready-to-ship doses from the manufacturer(s). The first shipment will be 46,800 doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The second shipment will be 95,600 of the Moderna vaccine. The state determined the number of doses going to each loca on by surveying facilies’ needs for phase 1. Many of the doses allocated to local public health agencies will be administered to health care workers at local hospitals that do not have the capability to store vaccine. The first two shipments of vaccine will be allocated to the following loca ons in the following amounts:
