January 13th, 2021 – Last week, access to the COVID-19 vaccines in Colorado was expanded to individuals age 70 and older. Yesterday, the Trump administration suggested states offer vaccines to anyone age 65 and older. This lines up with President-Elect Biden’s proposed plans, so the vaccine expansion is likely to stand.
You can see a list of the Phase 1 Distribution Centers (in Orange) and the Providers (in Blue) locations that will administer the vaccine below:
With both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, two doses are still currently required. Learn how your Colorado health insurance should cover your vaccine. For questions about the vaccine, visit https://covid19.colorado.gov/vaccine-faq or you can call 303-389-1687 or 877-462-2911.
How to contact vaccine providers
The following information has been provided by each hospital system, facility, public health agency, or provider.
UCHealth
UCHealth is using My Health Connection, their online patient portal, to communicate with patients. If you do not have an active My Health Connection account or are new to UCHealth, sign up to be placed on a list to receive the COVID-19 vaccine when it is available for your phase, according to the state’s plan.
Denver Health
Denver Health is currently working to contact and make appointments with patients age 70 and over who currently receive care at a Denver Health facility or have received care in the past three years. Invitations are now being sent by MyChart to schedule these vaccinations. Tickets to schedule COVID-19 vaccinations for patients 70 or over are being generated in a phased fashion. For those with MyChart accounts or willing to sign-up for one, this will be a much quicker process for scheduling your vaccination. Find instructions to create a MyChart account at Denver Health’s website.
Centura Health
Covid-19 information center. If you are a Centura Health patient, you will receive an invitation when it is your time to receive the vaccine through MyCenturaHealth, their patient portal. These invitations will be sent based on the state tiering system, starting with patients age 70 and over. An appointment is required to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and walk-ins cannot be accommodated. They plan to make the vaccine available to all members of the community and details will be posted on the Centura.org website once available. Coloradans can take action now by establishing care with a Centura Health Physician Group primary care provider in their area.

Vail Health
Visit Vail Health’s website to make an appointment and see their clinic schedule.
Boulder Community Health
All vaccination notification and scheduling will be done through the MyBCH patient portal. The quickest and most efficient way to schedule a vaccination from Boulder Community Health is to use a MyBCH account.If you already have a MyBCH account, you should check that your personal information is up to date.
If you need to set up an account, you can do that at Boulder Community Health’s website. You do not need to be a current BCH patient to establish a MyBCH account. General questions about setting up the account should be sent to this email: MyBCH@bch.org.
HealthONE
At this point, HealthONE hospitals (The Medical Center of Aurora, North Suburban Medical Center, Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center, Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, Rose Medical Center, Sky Ridge Medical Center, Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital and Swedish Medical Center) only have enough vaccine for their colleagues, physicians and their staff members, and other providers in the community. They are currently providing first and second dose vaccinations to those groups with the limited number of resources they’ve received.
HealthONE will begin contacting patients age 70 and older. These communications will be consistent with the state of Colorado tiering system and based upon vaccine availability. Because of our limited supply of vaccines we are asking that individuals wait to be contacted by us rather than come to our facilities looking to be vaccinated without an appointment. Please check HealthONE’s website for updated details.
SCL Health
SCL Health is currently contacting patients age 70 and older who are currently receiving care at a SCL Health facility. Information is being emailed to these patients guiding them to use the MyChart online patient portal to make a vaccination appointment. These invitations are being sent in a phased fashion based on the state tiering system.
An appointment is REQUIRED to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at a SCL Health facility — walk-up vaccinations ARE NOT available. If you are 70 and older and would like more information about registering for COVID-19 vaccination at a SCL Health facility, log on to SCL Health’s website or call or call 303-812-2051 for details.
It may take time to vaccinate every patient age 70 and older, and SCL Health appreciates the community’s patience as they evaluate the resources required to meet demand. SCL Health plans to eventually make the vaccine available to all members of the community in coordination with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. Details will be posted at SCLHealth.org once an expanded vaccine schedule is available.
As part of their mission to improve the health of the people and communities SCL Health serves, especially the poor and vulnerable, the goal is to vaccinate as many members of their communities quickly and safely, aligned with state guidelines.
Gunnison County
Gunnison County is scheduling COVID-19 vaccinations for people in phase 1A and seniors age 70 and older. Individuals in these groups can register through their COVID-19 Vaccination Interest Form. Gunnison County will notify people via email, text message, or phone call when the vaccine is available for them.
Larimer County
Larimer County has a COVID-19 Vaccine Notification Sign-Up form for county residents 70 and older to complete in order to keep a list of those who are requesting vaccination. As supplies increase, they will continue to work with all their vaccinating partners in the community to move into additional phases and meet the needs of Larimer county residents. County demographics indicate there are nearly 40,000 residents 70 and older.
