COLORADO (KRDO) — Beginning this week, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) will send text messages and email notifications to parents and guardians whose records in the Colorado Immunization System indicate their child/children or teen may be overdue for a childhood or adolescent vaccine.
These vaccines include human papillomavirus (HPV), meningococcal, tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap).
The CDPHE said the parents or guardians of more than 10,700 children and adolescents between ages 7-18 will be contacted.
