Policy Priorities & Positions
Immunize Colorado policies and position statements are approved by our board of directors annually and reflect our organization's position on key immunization issues.
Public Policy Priorities
Effective public policy is one of the best ways to ensure all Coloradans are fully immunized. That's why Immunize Colorado convenes diverse partnersāparents, healthcare professionals, public health officials, business leaders, childcare and school administrators and community membersāto help develop our policy priorities.
In 2026, the Immunize Colorado PolicyĀ Committee recommends the followingĀ policyĀ prioritiesĀ to protect Coloradans' access to vaccines:
-
Sheild Colorado's vaccine delivery systems from disruptions caused by changes to federal guidance
-
Strengthen and expend Colorado's immunization workforce and safeguardĀ state and local public health funding
-
Create a mechanism for Colorado agencies to rely on trusted, evidence-based guidelines from non-federal entities for vaccine purchasing, vaccine recommendations, and community outreach efforts
-
Support vaccine and providers' ability to offer vaccines with confidence
In line with these priorities, Immunize Colorado supports Senate Bill 26-032: Promoting Immunization Access, and opposes a proposed budget cut to local public health funding.
Anyone can be an advocate for pro-vaccine policy in Colorado.
Whether itās through talking to a fellow parent on the playground or contacting an elected official, we can all promote effective public health policies that work to keep Colorado communities healthy.
