DENVER (KDVR) — The Colorado Board of Health has made the decision to end the COVID-19 vaccination mandate for health care workers in Colorado.
Starting July 14, Colorado health care workers are no longer required to get a COVID-19 vaccine following the emergency ruling that began in August 2021. This new development includes health care employees, direct contractors and supporting staff.
