  COLORADO MANDATORY IMMUNIZATION LAW

  ADDITIONAL IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION

  Immunization requirements will be strictly enforced for all school children. Children who do not meet the requirements will be denied admission to school. All students must submit a completed Certificate of Immunization or Exemption upon enrollment. A medical exemption must be signed by a licensed physician stating that the child's physical condition is such that immunizations would endanger life or health; or a religeous exemption signed by the parent or guardian that he/she adheres to a religeous belief whose teachings are opposed to immunizations. Immunization requirements listed below.
