A. Official school immunization records shall include:

1. The Department's Certificate of Immunization or an Alternate Certificate of Immunization approved by the Department, which includes one of the following forms of documentation:
a. A paper or electronic document that includes information transferred from the records of a licensed physician, registered nurse, a delegated physician assistant, or public health official, or

b. An electronic file or hard copy of an electronic file provided to the school directly from the immunization information system established pursuant to section 25-4-2403, C.R.S., or from a software program approved by the Department,

2. The Department's Certificate of medical exemption, and

3. The Department's Certificate of nonmedical exemption.

B. Any immunization record (original or copy) provided by a physician licensed to practice medicine or osteopathic medicine in any state or territory of the United States, registered nurse, delegated physician assistant, or public health official may be accepted by the school official as proof of immunization. The information is to be verified by the school official and transferred to an official Certificate of Immunization, except that the Department may waive transfer requirements for select states' Certificates of immunization the Department recognizes to be consistent with Colorado's Certificate of Immunization.

C. Schools shall have on file an official school immunization record for every student enrolled. The official school immunization record will be kept apart from other school records. When a student withdraws, transfers, or is promoted to a new school, the school official shall return the Certificate of Immunization to the parent(s) or emancipated student upon request or transfer it with the student's school records to the new school. Upon a college or university student's request, the Certificate of Immunization shall be forwarded as specified by the student.
