Flu Shots

If you have ever been on the fence about getting a flu shot, 2020 is the year to do it! Due to COVID-19, this could be a particularly bad year to get the flu. Getting the flu and COVID-19 together could expose you to extra health problems, and hospitals could be strained by COVID-19 patients. The flu vaccine is the best way to protect against the flu, and may help to keep hospital resources available to those in need. Remember to continue the 3Ws through flu season: Wash your hands, Watch your distance, and Wear your mask/face covering.

Find a Provider

If you are insured, contact your primary care physician about getting a flu vaccine. You can also get vaccinated at many pharmacies and drug stores (like CVS or Walgreens) at little to no cost. Flu vaccine providers can also be found at FluVaxColorado.org.

News Release: Traveling? Check measles vaccination or immunity status

5 Facts about Measles

  1. The national outbreak of measles is ongoing. From January 1 to May 10, 2019, 839 cases of measles have been confirmed in 23 states. Colorado has not yet been directly impacted by this outbreak as only one case has occurred here since January. 
  2. Most measles cases this year have occurred in unvaccinated persons and are linked to travelers who brought measles back from other countries such as Israel, Ukraine, and the Philippines. 
  3. Teens and adults should be up-to-date on MMR vaccination. In general, everybody age 18 and older born before 1957 (who has not had measles) needs at least one dose of the vaccine.
  4. The best way to protect against measles is to get the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) shot.
  5. Your child needs two doses of MMR vaccine for the best protection. Generally, the first shot is at 12-15 months of age, and the second shot is between 4-6 years of age. For infants traveling aboard, it is recommended to get the MMR early at 6-11 months of age.
