Adams County in partnership with Platte Valley Medical Center have opened the county’s first vaccination clinic in Brighton. 

The clinic is appointment only for county residents 70 and older and is being operated at the Adams County Government Center Conference Center (4430 S. Adams County Parkway).

While ill effects of 2nd COVID shot are stronger, front-line workers say it’s better than the alternative

“We know vaccines from the federal government are in short supply right now, but we are very optimistic supplies will increase soon,” said Emma Pinter, Adams County commissioner and board chair.

“We want to make sure as soon as we get a vaccine, we get that vaccine to someone who needs it and we couldn’t do that without strong partners like like Platte Valley.”

The vaccination clinic will operate Thursdays through Sundays from 8:30 a.m. until noon and 1 p.m. until 7 p.m., officials said.

Anyone who is going to utilize the clinic is required to pre-register through MyChart.
