While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has announced changes to the
childhood immunization schedule, Boulder Community Health (BCH) will continue
to follow guidance from state and national medical societies, including
the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and the
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) which remains grounded in long-standing
science, expert medical consensus and transparency. We remain committed
to ensuring continued access to vaccines for children and families, and
protecting community health through evidence-based, data-driven prevention
strategies.
Read Colorado’s stance on vaccines here.
Children up to 18 years of age can get their recommended vaccines at any
BCH primary care clinic. Please contact your child's primary care provider
to schedule an appointment for any vaccinations they may need.
Due to respiratory virus season, please note the following:
Visitors under the age of 12 are
not allowed in the inpatient units and surgery unless it is in the best interest of
the patient.
This does not include outpatient services (ED, clinics, imaging, and lab).

COVID-19 Vaccines (updated 10/07/25)
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has issued a
standing order allowing anyone
6 months and older to receive the updated COVID-19 vaccines at participating pharmacies beginning
Friday, September 5. A standing order acts as a prescription that applies across the entire
state, removing the need for individual provider prescriptions.
Please note: not every pharmacy is required to offer the vaccine or to
follow the State's orders, so it's important to check with your pharmacy
as availability and prescription needs may vary.
BCH will carry Moderna Spikevax in two doses -- 50 mcg for adults and 25
mcg for children. We offer the COVID vaccine at all BCH Primary Care clinics.
Please call your primary care provider to schedule.
