Senate Bill 13-222, Improving Access to Childhood Immunizations: Legislative Fact Sheet


In May 2013, the Colorado General Assembly passed Senate Bill 13-222 (SB 222), which aims to improve access to childhood immunizations by addressing the current challenges in vaccine delivery and financing. Signed by Gov.
