To comply with rule 6 CCR 1011-1 Chap 2, all licensed health care facilities
must report influenza vaccination of employees each year. The vaccination goal
for 2013-2014 is that at least 75% of your employees are immunized with the
influenza vaccine.
To report these data, you can use either the Colorado
Health Facility Portal (state portal) or the National Health Safety Network
(NHSN). Data need to be submitted through ONLY ONE of these systems.
Below are the parameters for both reporting systems for 2013-2014 data.
Please note that data submitted through the Health Facility (HF) Portal is due
March 31. We have created a Frequently Asked Questions document to assist with the
reporting. It is in the HCW Flu Vaccination Reporting tab.
