Letter to CCD Contractors re COVID Vax Requirement Final (1).docx

The document outlines a Public Health Order issued by the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment (DDPHE) requiring personnel of certain entities operating within Denver, including contractors hired by the City and County of Denver, to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by September 30, 2021. The order emphasizes the importance of vaccination in preventing transmission and limiting COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths, particularly in light of the Delta variant cases. Employers are responsible for ensuring their employees are vaccinated, maintaining vaccination records, and providing reasonable accommodations for exemptions. Non-compliance with the vaccination requirement may result in enforcement actions by DDPHE. Proof of vaccination can be in the form of a vaccination card or accessing the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS) Public Portal. Additional details and resources can be found on the Denver government website.
