Coloradans 16 and older can now sign up for the Pfizer vaccine. Those 18 and older can sign up for any of the vaccines. However, appointments are expected to go fast.

"Please keep in mind that scheduling an appointment will take some patience," Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement released Friday. Some folks will be able to get an appointment within a day; for others, it may take a few weeks."

Big box stores offering vaccine appointments include:

Safeway/Albertsons

King Soopers

Walmart

However, it may be easier to use the website Vaccine Spotter to find openings across Colorado.

You can also sign up with health care providers such as HealthOne, Denver Health and UCHealth for vaccinations.  For more information and to register, visit www.cocovidvaccine.org or call 1.877.268.2926.
