On April 2, all Coloradans became eligible to receive a vaccination against Covid-19. While we aren’t going to take a deep dive into the many places to receive a vaccine, the city and county of Denver recently sent out some really helpful information. We thought we’d share some of the highlights (along with some of our own tips) as they can help those who are home-bound or have limited access to transportation.

Back in April, Governor Jared Polis told Coloradans the Federal Government was literally paying us to stay home. But that hasn’t stopped the bills for rent, food, and other essential expenses.
