Dr. Manjul Shukla transfers Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine into a syringe, Dec. 2, 2021, at a mobile vaccination clinic in Worcester, Mass.

Vaccines first became available in Colorado nearly one year ago, on Dec. 14, 2020. In the year since, despite millions of Coloradans getting vaccinated, the virus and its variants are still spreading.

For an update on how things have changed in the last year — and how they haven’t — we spoke with Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

As the host of KUNC’s new program and podcast In the NoCo, I work closely with our producers and reporters to bring context and diverse perspectives to the important issues of the day. Northern Colorado is such a diverse and growing region, brimming with history, culture, music, education, civic engagement, and amazing outdoor recreation. I love finding the stories and voices that reflect what makes NoCo such an extraordinary place to live.
