2021 Colorado Code|Title 25 - Public Health and Environment|Article 4 - Disease Control|Part 9 - School Entry Immunization|§ 25-4-909. Vaccine-Related Injury or Death - Limitations on Liability

  The general assembly finds, determines, and declares that immunization of the population of this state is vital to the health of Colorado citizens and has demonstrated such finding by requiring such immunization pursuant to the provisions of sections 25-4-901 to 25-4-908.    No person who administers a vaccine which is required under the provisions of this part 9 to an infant or child whose age is greater than twenty days shall be held liable for injuries sustained pursuant to such vaccine if:   The vaccine was administered using generally accepted clinical methods;    The vaccine was administered according to the schedule of immunization as published by the communicable disease control administration of the federal government; and    There were no clinical symptoms nor clinical history present under which prudent health-care professionals would not have administered such vaccine.       An action shall not be maintained for a vaccine-related injury or death until action for compensation for such alleged injury has been exhausted under the terms of the “National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986”, 42 U.S.C. secs. 300aa-10 to 300aa-33, as such law is from time to time amended.    If the injury or death which is sustained does not fall within the parameters of the vaccine injury table as defined in 42 U.S.C. sec. 300aa-14, as enacted on November 14, 1986, a rebuttable presumption is established that the injury sustained or the death was not due to the administration of vaccine. Such presumption shall be overcome by a preponderance of the evidence.     History. Source: L. 88: Entire section added, p. 624, § 3, effective July 1.    ANNOTATION   Law reviews.

  The general assembly finds and declares it is necessary to establish a vaccinated children standard, whereby the immunization rate goal for every school is ninety-five percent of the student population to be vaccinated according to the school immunization schedule established by the state board of health pursuant to section 25-4-904. Achieving this immunization rate goal will help reduce the spread of infectious diseases and protect the health of all people in the school community, including the students who cannot be immunized for medical reasons.    In order to achieve the immunization rate goal described in subsection (1) of this section, the department of public health and environment shall collaborate with local public health agencies and schools to provide information and technical assistance regarding best practices to educate and engage with students and families about vaccines, the risks of vaccine-preventable diseases, and where vaccines are administered.
