Annually, public health officials prepare for the upcoming influenza (flu) season and emphasize the importance of receiving the flu vaccine.

Smoke-free multi-unit housing benefits residents and property owners.

Using newly-available data on nearly one million children in Colorado, the Colorado Children's Immunization Coalition (CCIC) developed custom fact sheets to help each Senate and House district understand its level of community protection and identify areas for improvement.
