Today on Colorado Edition: We get the latest on vaccine rollout disparities across Colorado. Plus, we explore the challenges of bilingual contact tracing, speak with Colorado’s insurance commissioner, and learn why convalescent plasma isn’t the coronavirus miracle treatment some thought it could have been.

Today’s guests include: Colorado’s insurance commissioner Michael Conway. And today’s show features reporting from: KUNC’s state Capitol reporter, Scott Franz; KUNC’s Matt Bloom; Jen Brown, a writer for the Colorado Sun; and Stephanie Serrano of the Mountain West News Bureau.
