Immunizations
The State of Colorado requires immunization records in order to enroll in school, Immunization Law (C.R.S. 25-4-902). Please check below to see if your child is up to date on immunizations and make an appointment with your doctor if needed. You will need to provide immunization paperwork/records to the school’s secretary or health assistant as required by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment; read their notice of Immunization requirements for school and childcare here.
Schools do have the authority to suspend or expel any student who is non-compliant under C.R.S 25-4-907. Please contact the Children's Hospital District Nurse Consultant if you have any questions or concerns.
Colorado Immunization Information for Parents and Students
Colorado law requires all students attending Colorado schools and licensed child care providers to be vaccinated against certain diseases unless an exemption is filed. For more information about vaccine requirements, resources and exemptions, visit the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s School Immunization page.
Parents have the right to exempt their child from school immunization requirements according to C.R.S. 25-4-903. Parents need to submit to the school a statement of personal or religious exemption annually. A medical exemption must be signed by a licensed health care provider and only needs to be submitted once. For the latest update on personal exemptions please read this letter from CDPHE from April 2017 for clarification on exemptions: Medical exemptions update from CDPHE (DOC). Medical and non-medical exemption forms can be found by clicking: www.colorado.gov/vaccineexemption.
