I want to obtain a Certificate of Medical Exemption

#FFFFFF

Must review general exemption requirements prior to continuing.

A medical exemption is available for students who have a medical condition that prevents them from receiving one or more school-required vaccines.

You are responsible for providing the signed Certificate of Medical Exemption to each school or child care you/your child attends.

A Certificate of Medical Exemption requires the signature of one of the following health care providers, licensed to practice in any state or territory of the United States: 

  • Advanced practice nurse (APN) 
  • Physician (Medical Doctor [MD] or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine [DO])
  • Physician assistant (PA)

A Certificate of Medical Exemption needs to be submitted only once, unless there is a change in the student’s school or personal information.

Downloadable Certificate of Medical Exemption:

English | Spanish (Español) | Amharic (አማርኛ) | Arabic (عربى) | Burmese (မြန်မာ) | Chinese (中文) | | French (français) | Korean (한국어) |  Russian (русский) | Somali (Soomaali) | Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt)

Per Colorado Revised Statutes 25-4-2403(2.5) and 25-4-2403, immunizing providers are required to submit immunization, medical exemption, and nonmedical exemption data into the Colorado Immunization Information System.
