Colorado teens encourage hesitant people to get the COVID-19 vaccine

According to the Biden administration’s COVID-19 response team, half of all 12 to 17 year old Americans have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. ​

That’s an improvement over recent weeks – but still below the rate of U.S. adults… nearly 75% of whom have received at least one shot.

Some high school students in Colorado are working to bring numbers up ​even more, at least in their state.
