Will Colorado follow feds’ lead on vaccinations? Polis says the state will review policyWith the federal government stepping up pressure on federal employees to get vaccinated, Gov. Jared Polis said he will review the policy and determine if one is needed at the state level and how it would be carried out.
President Joe Biden said federal employees will have to sign forms attesting they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or else wear masks, be tested weekly and maintain their distance from others. The policy, which would cover at least 4 million workers, comes as the highly contagious delta strain of the coronavirus is causing a surge of cases in Colorado and across the country.
The governor’s spokesman, Conor Cahill, said in an email to The Denver Post that Colorado has been working hard to educate the public on how safe and effective the vaccine is and has worked to ensure the shots are free, convenient and accessible to everyone.
“We also just announced a new round of incentives that we hope will increase the number of Coloradans getting the vaccine,” Cahill said.
