Details on today’s vaccine clinic
RBC | Today’s community COVID vaccination clinic will be open to the remainder of Tier 1A citizens, health care workers with less direct contact with COVID-19 patients and 70+ individuals only. Please bring proof of residency. See PAGE 6A for further details. This change is due to vaccine allocation and the fact we did not receive the planned allotment, along with new guidelines from the CDPHE. Testing for COVID-19 is recommended for all symptomatic individuals and all individuals who have been exposed to a known case. If you have no symptoms, but have been exposed, it is advised to test 5-7 days after your last known exposure, or as soon as possible after you begin to develop symptoms. Testing is available at both Meeker and Rangely public health Monday through from 10 to 11 a.m. Please do not call for an appointment. Vehicles will be served in order of arrival.
