The following website was established by Immunize Colorado’s Refugee and Immigrant Immunization Taskforce (RIIT), a group of healthcare professionals, clinicians, community health workers, and community members. Its purpose is to offer information on the vaccine-related needs of newly arrived Coloradans for both newcomers and providers.
The RIIT meets via Zoom, every third Thursday of every other month from 2-3 PM MST.
