According to the governor’s office, the Commerce City vaccination site will be able to provide 2,000 doses a day, but eventually ramp up to 6,000 a day if supply allows. On March 22, it provided just 500 doses of the Moderna vaccine as a trial run of sorts.
Those who receive a shot at the Community Vaccination Site will need to return to the same location 28 days later for their second dose.
Centura Health is operating the Commerce City site, along with two others.
