It reflects a new CDC, reshaped by political appointees, that has abdicated its responsibility to provide clear, evidence-based information the public can rely on.

And it won’t just harm today’s children, families, and communities — future generations will pay the price.

When clear science is rewritten as ambiguity, misinformation rushes in to fill the vacuum.

This update does not reflect the scientific rigor and integrity the CDC has upheld for nearly eight decades, across 14 presidential administrations of both parties.

Yes, even if we don’t lose elimination status, we shouldn’t be proud of where we are. And with our current trajectory, it’s just a matter of time.

This is an important first step. More work lies ahead to ensure every Coloradan can continue to access and feel confident in vaccines.

Colorado will not sit on the sidelines while the ability to choose vital protection is taken away.

This week, the Colorado Division of Insurance reinforced those protections by issuing Emergency Regulation 25-E-04, which requires state-regulated health plans to cover COVID-19 vaccines as a preventive service with no cost-sharing.
