Colorado will begin requiring that people get vaccinated to attend large indoor events in Denver areaPeople will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend large, indoor events in the Denver area starting Friday.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced a new public health order Sunday night putting the mandate in place. The order applies to Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson counties.
