On Dec. 17, the Colorado Board of Health revised 6 Colorado Code of Regulations (CCR) 1009-2 - The Infant Immunization Program and Immunization of Students Attending School.

These rules establish immunization requirements for students attending school, which include public, private, or parochial kindergarten, elementary, or secondary schools through 12th grade; all child care facilities licensed by the State of Colorado, including: child care centers, school-age child care centers, preschools, day camps, resident camps, day treatment centers, family child care homes, foster care homes, and Head Start programs; and higher education facilities with residence facilities. The rules cover:

Minimum immunization requirements to attend school,
Exemptions processes,
Requirements around denial of attendance,
Required recordkeeping and reporting by certain school facilities, and
Other related rules.

Colorado Board of Health rule 6 CCR 1009-2 will soon be updated on the Secretary of State’s Code of Colorado Regulations webpage for this rule.
