Kiddie Up has received a ton of inquiries from nannies, and families, regarding the COVID vaccine. Although it is still not crystal clear, we do know nannies are receiving their vaccination.

With that said, some things are still not certain. Such as the paperwork required, if the childcare provider needs to be licensed or if they can be an in-home provider. Hopefully, clearer communication will be released soon.
Last week, thanks to a Kiddie Up client who works in the medical field, we learned those who are interested in receiving the vaccine should sign up to be “on the list.” Based on the county you live in, you can sign up to be placed on a list to receive the COVID-19 vaccine when it’s available for your phase, according to the state’s plan.

Cost should not be an obstacle to getting the vaccine. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance are required to cover the cost of the COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, uninsured Coloradans will have access to free vaccines. More importantly, a vaccine provider may not turn you away for the vaccine because of an inability to pay or your medical coverage status.
