The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has collected and published reported 2017 – 2018 school and child care immunization and exemption rates.

During this presentation, Paul Gillenwater, the Data Unit Manager for the Immunization Branch, toured the 2017 – 2018 immunization data set and dashboards and discussed overall themes and statistics.
