Flu

Keep your family healthy this flu season.

What is the flu?

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness. It’s caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can lead to problems like ear infections or bacterial pneumonia. Sometimes it can lead to a hospital stay or even death. It can also make chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, cancer, and others worse.

Immunize Colorado is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children, families, and communities across Colorado from preventable illnesses. The website serves as a central hub where everyday Coloradans, parents, schools, and healthcare workers can find reliable vaccine information, locate free or low-cost clinics, and learn about local immunization laws.

Low/No Cost Vaccines

No Coloradan should miss out on the benefits of vaccines due to inability to pay for them. Through collaboration with local and state organizations to support vaccination programs, Immunize Colorado works to make vaccines accessible to all—no matter your income, where you live or what your insurance status is.
