Colorado recorded an uptick in deaths related to COVID-19 and overdoses in 2021, according to data newly finalized from the state health department. <\/p>\n

The big picture: The death rate in 2021 didn't improve since hitting a record high in 2020.Health experts blame people not getting vaccinated and soaring fentanyl use for the elevated figures.<\/p>\n

By the numbers: The three leading causes of death in 2021 were heart disease, cancer and COVID-19. <\/p>\n

What to watch: Whether we see a surge in COVID-19 deaths this year may depend on how quickly vaccines are retooled to fight the latest variants, and how quickly people get them (if they even do so). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
