This message is to inform you of a service outage recently experienced with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s (CDPHE) Online Immunization Education Module. Specifically, the outage began July 18, 2024 and only impacted the module’s electronic form, which is used to generate a Certificate of Nonmedical Exemption upon completion of the online course. The issue has now been resolved.
In response to the multiday outage, CDPHE created a temporary Certificate of Nonmedical Exemption approved for use exclusively during the service outage period. Schools and child care facilities may accept completed temporary Certificates of Nonmedical Exemption as valid during the outage period from July 18, 2024 through July 25, 2024.
If this has impacted you, contact the CIIS School Coordinator at cdphe_ciis_schools@state.co.us for what is needed to accept the temporary certificate!
CDPHE has a new newsletter for the child care industry that can be found here:
