Board of Health Information for Chapter 2 – COVID-19 Vaccine Requirements Emergency Rulemaking

 

To: All Providers   From: HFEMSD   On August 30, 2021, the Board of Health adopted emergency revisions to 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter 2 that established a requirement for all employees, direct contractors, and support staff to become fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Subsequently, on December 15, 2021 the Board of Health adopted updated emergency revisions to Chapter 2. Since that time, the Department has been working on final revisions to these regulations. This work with stakeholder is ongoing. As such, the Department has proposed another set of Emergency Regulations to be considered by the Board of Health at its March meeting. These regulations do not differ from the December 15, 2021 regulations, and the purpose of seeking an additional emergency rule at this time is to ensure the regulations remain in effect while the Department continues to work on the permanent language.   The proposed regulations can be found here.   For the March 16th meeting, the Board of Health will require all individuals who wish to provide public testimony to sign-up in advance at this link. Public testimony will be limited to one (1) hour, and signing up to testify does not guarantee there will be time for all individuals to testify at the hearing. To ensure your voice is heard, the Board encourages individuals to submit written testimony in advance of the meeting. Please email cdphe.bohrequests@state.co.us if you would like to provide written testimony.   Additional information on this meeting may be found on the Board of Health website.
