Background:
In an effort to improve access to childhood immunizations, the Colorado General Assembly recently passed Senate Bill 13-222. Signed by Governor John Hickenlooper, the newly created Act charges the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to convene a task force of interested stakeholders to consider a variety of issues related to immunization access in Colorado. This initial meeting will seek to establish a common understanding of our directive and goals as well as strategy for how the task force will conduct its work over the next several months.
Agenda and webcast information forthcoming.
