The Colorado State Board of Health has proposed a rule to require all acute care and long-term nursing care facilities to annually vaccinate personnel against influenza. All other licensed healthcare entities must assess their own clients, staff, and services and develop a written policy regarding influenza vaccination of its health care workers. All licensed healthcare entities will be required to annually report their influenza vaccination rates to the Department.
A hearing on the proposed rule will be held on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at the Department of Public Health and Environment, Building A, Sabin-Cleere Conference Room, 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver, Colorado 80246, beginning at 10:00 am.
