Vaccines & CU Anschutz
The State of Colorado’s phased vaccine distribution plan is currently in Phase 1A, Phase 1B.1 and Phase 1B.2. Supply remains limited. The university does not have its own vaccine doses at this time. We are actively advocating for expansion of state criteria, and continue to update the CU Anschutz vaccine webpage as we know more.
You are encouraged to get the COVID-19 vaccine at your earliest opportunity to do so once eligible. One way to get the vaccine may be through UCHealth. Make sure you have a My Health Connection account, or set one up, using the button below. This ensures you are set up for email notification of vaccination options when available through the UCHealth system.
