Description of the website

The website of Immunize Colorado is a member of the WHO-led project Vaccine Safety Net (VSN).

The Immunize Colorado website, immunizecolorado.org, serves to inform coalition and community members with information pertaining to the organization, such as the organization’s mission, program areas, history, core values, funding, and organizational structure; the website also provides ways that community members can get involved with Immunize Colorado.

The website’s other primary function is to be a resource hub for its coalition and community members. As such, the Immunize Colorado website includes relevant information for Colorado health professionals, such as upcoming educational events, the latest vaccine recommendations and research, public policy efforts, and a storefront where healthcare professionals can order materials for patients and office staff. The Immunize Colorado website also helps to connect parents and community members to family-friendly educational resources, including recent vaccine news, information on how to access free and low-cost vaccines, upcoming community outreach events, and information on how to view immunization and exemption rate data for schools and child care facilities across Colorado.

Additionally, the website provides links to Immunize Colorado’s popular parent campaign websites, ImmunizeforGood.com, VacunalosporSuBien.com, and the TeamVaccine.com blog, all of which serve to address parents’ concerns about vaccinating their children by offering science-based information on topics such as vaccine safety, vaccine ingredients, common vaccine misinformation, how vaccines work, and more.

Immunize Colorado’s website also includes a robust resource library where parents, healthcare professionals, advocates, and school and child care personnel can access reports on immunization coverage for communities across Colorado, immunization fact sheets for legislators and school administrators, videos on vaccine administration and safety, Immunize Colorado’s monthly newsletters, legislative and policy update documents, and other educational materials that highlight changes or updates to immunization policy, guidelines, or status in Colorado.
