Vail Health vaccine appointments fill quickly for patients 70 and older
Vail Health began administering COVID-19 vaccinations Wednesday to the local patient population ages 70 and older.
Vail Health received 1,600 doses in the first allotment of the Moderna vaccine for the 70-and-over age group, said Sally Welsh, Vail Health’s public relations director, on Tuesday.
Welsh said while the hospital’s Jan 6-8 and Jan. 13 appointments filled quickly, “there will be many other opportunities, estimated at a weekly cadence.”
