Opinion: Are Colorado parents vaccine hesitant post COVID or just behind?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:27:49 GMT

It’s back to school. Are your kids vaccinated? Equally important, are the other kids vaccinated? Under Colorado law, students in grades k-12 must be vaccinated for chickenpox, diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, pertussis, polio, rubella, tetanus, and whooping cough unless parents seek a medical, personal, or religious exemption.Unfortunately, the percentage of kindergarteners and older students who are fully vaccinated has declined over the past couple of years. Only 88% of kindergarteners were up to date on their shots in the 2022-2023 school year, down from 5.2% from the last school year. There was a 2.2% decrease in vaccination rates among all school-aged kids over that time.

In the grand old days we had movies theaters and 14 TV stations — no more, no less. But with more distribution channels added, they can suddenly make more and more money off of existing content.”And for the time being, customers still have plenty to watch.“It’ll be a long time before peopl...
