| Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, Denver, Colorado |
| The Colorado Board of Health passed a rule requiring Colorado’s healthcare facilities to ensure annual influenza vaccination of their healthcare workers. The Colorado rule was a product of a yearlong collaboration between the Colorado Department of Publi Health and Environment (CDPHE) and stakeholders across the state. As a direct result of the extensive collaborative approach taken, the final rule is unique among similar proposed and enacted state mandates in that it addresses a variety of healthcare facility needs and priorities relating to reporting, implementation, and enforcement. The rule applies to all licensed healthcare entities in Colorado. The Colorado rule was modeled to encourage facilities that are already appropriately implementing strategies to prevent influenza to continue to do so, to assist facilities that can improve, and to prompt facilities to adopt more effective policies to prevent influenza. The rule achieves this by allowing facilities that have already taken measures to ensure patient safety by promoting or mandating influenza vaccinations to be exempt from the rule if target vaccination rates (phased in to 90% in 2014) are reached. A facility can implement a policy that best fits its organization to achieve or exceed the target vaccination rates, including implementing any type of exemption or informed declination as long as it gets to the target vaccination rates described below. If a facility does not achieve the target vaccination rates, it is required to implement an influenza vaccination policy for healthcare worker that includes a medical exemption only and a requirement for workers that have not been immunized to wear a surgical mask during influenza season. As described above, the rule applies to all hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and long-term care facilities in the state. The rule also applies to other licensed healthcare entities in the state including community clinics, rehabilitation centers, community mental health centers, facilities for people with developmental disabilities, hospice care, assisted living residences, dialysis treatment clinics, birthing centers, home care agencies, maternity hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, convalescent centers and acute treatment units.
