URGENT COVID-19 TESTING UPDATE AS OF 1/22

Due to the recent discontinuation of the CURATIVE TEST SITES by the state, the Clear Creek drive-thru test site in Idaho Springs is cancelled until further notice.  Clear Creek Public Health is exploring lab availability and other logistics to re-open a Clear Creek County test site as quickly as possible. 

Summit County is offering three alternative sites for community testing:

• Silverthorne run by MAKO through CDPHE (drive-thru site)
• Frisco run by Centura
• Breckenridge run by Vail Health

*These are NOT Curative tests and anyone can use them.

VACCINE INFORMATION

VACCINATION UPDATES FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 18, 2021

Clear Creek was recently notified that we will receive a shipment of vaccine doses this week. All those who have pre-registered and who are eligible to receive vaccinations this week have been notified and received self-scheduling instructions for this week's vaccination clinic. It is a priority of Gov. Polis' administration to vaccinate 70% of Coloradans that are 70 years or older by February 28. Please read Gov. Polis' Letter to Seniors for more information on additional vaccination options for Seniors. As we receive new information, we will update our website to provide details regarding the next eligible group(s).

For information on how to PRE-REGISTER if you fall within the categories described below and additional information, please proceed to the COVID-19 VACCINE INFORMATION PAGE.

In Clear Creek County, we are currently in VACCINATION PHASE 1 / 1B (above the dotted line on the chart), with the current priority groups per the State being:

• Full-time Clear Creek County residents aged 70+
• If you are a second-home owner in Clear Creek County, you need to contact your primary county of residence for getting vaccinated. 
• People employed within Clear Creek County whose jobs are in categories 1A and 1B – all first responders (EMS, Firefighters, Law Enforcement), health care workers with direct contact with Covid-19 patients, and all other health care workers (home health, hospice, dentists, pharmacists, etc.) 
• If you are employed in a 1A or 1B job NOT operating in Clear Creek County, you need to contact your employer and/or county of employment for getting vaccinated.  This applies even if you are a Clear Creek County resident.

There are no exceptions to these requirements.

We appreciate your ongoing patience as we continue to navigate through the changing vaccination phases, categories and logistical challenges.  We will continue to provide information regarding the next eligible group for vaccinations on our website.
