Park County Vaccine Rates Surpass 40 percent and New Clinics Announced  

Park County, Colo. – Park County has reached a major milestone: over 40 percent of our eligible population is now protected from COVID19 by being fully vaccinated. This good news comes as evidence shows that counties with higher vaccination rates, are experiencing lower new cases in Colorado.
