Purpose/Objective of Rule |
Though the COVID-19 vaccine in widely available in the state, approximately 30% of the healthcare workforce in the facilities the Department has authority over remain unvaccinated. With the rise of the Delta variant, ensuring that all workers in licensed healthcare facilities are vaccinated is one of the most effective means the state can take to protect the public health, safety, and welfare of all Coloradans and end the ongoing pandemic. The proposed rules require all licensed healthcare facilities to ensure their employees and direct contractors are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 31, 2021. |
