Denver (KDVR) – Colorado received its initial shipment of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine Monday morning at a lab located at the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE).

Gov. Jared Polis was at the freight door, ready to receive the first box of vaccine vials from a FedEx worker.

“The beginning of the end of the pandemic is in sight,” Gov. Polis said as the vaccine shipment arrived.

The first doses of the vaccine will be administered to health care workers at 2 p.m. Monday at UC Health Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins. Gov. Jared Polis will be in attendance.

Colorado is set to receive 46,800 doses of the Pfizer vaccine in the first shipment. Next week, the state will receive 95,600 doses of Moderna’s vaccine, provided it also receives emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
