School immunization and exemption rates

Each year, schools and childcare centers across Colorado are required to send parents and guardians a letter with links to information about immunizations and details about: 

  • Which immunizations are required or recommended to attend school 
  • Where a parent or guardian can find their child’s immunization records 
  • How families can access free or low-cost immunizations 
  • How families can submit a Certificate of Medical Exemption or a Certificate of Nonmedical Exemption 
  • Circumstances under which a child who is not up to date on immunizations can be excluded from school 

The 2024-25 immunization letter for parents was emailed to families in Poudre School District on Feb. 13. The letter is also available on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment website

In addition, schools and childcare centers are required to send information about a school’s immunization rates each year. You can find immunization rates by school for Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTap, Tdap); Hepatitis B; Polio; and Varicella on the CDPHE website (select the orange K-12 button and select a school from the drop-down menu). The chart below lists MMR (Mumps, Measles, Rubella) immunization and exemption rates by school, as well as the percentage of students in the process of immunization compliance.
