Colorado law requires that the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment— Certificate of Immunization be completed and provided to your child’s school. The law requires documentation of immunizations or a signature on file exempting the child for medical, religious, or personal reasons(C.R.S. 25-4- 903).
The following requirements are effective for the coming school year:
Two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine are required for all students grades K –12.
Three doses of Hepatitis B vaccine are required for all students grades K – 12.
Varicella, (chicken pox). All sixth grade and seventh grade students are required to have either, a laboratory test showing immunity or a disease history from a health care provider.
