Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) announced that it does not intend to seek another set of emergency rules as related to COVID-19 Vaccination requirements, nor does it intend to seek to make the current Chapter 2 regulations permanent. <strong>As such, the Chapter 2 COVID-19 Vaccine Requirements expired on July 14, 2022.<\/strong> <img decoding=\"async\"

state licensure vaccination requirement expire on July 14, 2022, the federal requirement for staff to be vaccinated or obtain a valid medical or religious exemption, through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), will still apply to any licensed facility that is certified by CMS to receive federal reimbursement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To summarize:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Effective July 14, 2022, current obligations under Part 12 of 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter 2 related to COVID-19 vaccination expire.\n<ul>\n<li><strong>This includes the associated obligation to report into Colorado Health Facilities Interactive (COHFI) on a twice-monthly basis.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The requirements of Part 11 of Chapter 2 regarding vaccination against influenza are still in effect and not impacted by the expiration of these emergency rules.<\/li>\n<li>Despite the expiration of these rules, facilities and agencies may maintain any mandatory vaccination policies they have adopted to date.<\/li>\n<li>Facilities certified by CMS are still subject to the federal government\u2019s vaccine mandate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the CDPHE does anticipate a possibility for the enactment of the requirements for all licensed facilities and agencies related to infection prevention and control in the light of the House Bill 22-1401 signed by Governor Polis on May 18, 2022 (<a
