Beginning with the launch of the 2019-20 academic year, all students and staff enrolled in Temple Sinai Preschool are required to have age-appropriate vaccines as determined by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
In 2015, The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) adopted a Mandatory Immunization Policy resolution with which all Reform congregations are being encouraged to align. We know that some of our parents may have chosen to defer the vaccination of their children. Nonetheless, for the Temple Sinai community, this is not about individual rights and choice, but rather, it is an issue of public health and policy.
