COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (KKTV) – Anyone who received a COVID-19 vaccine at a Colorado Springs clinic is being alerted to new directions while the investigation continues.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE) announced Friday that the health and wellness clinic of Dr. Moma in El Paso County is currently suspended from the COVID vaccination program. On Tuesday, CDPHE reports that they cannot verify whether the vaccines previously administered at the site were viable because the supplier did not provide the proper documentation on temperature storage.
The suspension affected some 7,000 scheduled appointments. It is unclear how many people recently received a vaccine at the clinic.
CDPHE consulted the Centers for Disease Control and recommends the following:
For people who received a dose at the Dr.Moma health and wellness clinic:
