County COVID update: Montrose County has received roughly 1,400 doses of the Moderna vaccine for COVID-19, after another shipment early this week, as well as a clinic's shipment of 100 doses that is being contributed to Public Health for distribution. As calls grow to release more vaccine supply, the state and county continue administering vaccines in accordance with priority protocols. Most of what the county has received went to those eligible under 1A of the protocols, health care workers in higher-risk environments. The county began the next tier, 1B, with 80 vaccines administered last week and expects to provide 470 more this week, for 1B-eligible recipients.
