As children grow into their teen years, their world expands—and so do their health needs. Adolescent vaccines boost immunity provided by childhood vaccines while introducing new protections against diseases that teens may encounter as they rapidly develop and grow.

Myth: "I don't need to think about hepatitis."

The truth is, hepatitis often has no symptoms, but thanks to remarkable advances in medicine, hepatitis C is now curable.

This World Hepatitis Day, we're celebrating one of the greatest public health success stories of our time: most people with hepatitis C can be cured with just 8–12 weeks of well-tolerated medication, dramatically reducing the risk of liver disease while preventing transmission to others.

At the Public Health Institute at Denver Health, we're working to make that cure easier to access. Through innovative programs that bring testing and treatment into trusted community settings—and by offering hepatitis C treatment through our Infectious Diseases clinic, Primary Care, Outpatient Behavioral Health Services and GI clinic—we're helping more Coloradans move from diagnosis to cure. Our Infectious Diseases Clinic also accepts patients without a referral.

If you think you may be at risk or have questions about hepatitis, talk with a trusted health care provider. Knowing your status is the first step toward protecting your health.

Flu activity remains high across Colorado and the nation, and vaccination is still recommended for everyone 6 months and older who hasn’t received it yet. According the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, fewer than 30% of Coloradans are currently vaccinated, a lower rate than this time last year.

Flu vaccines help reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and complications. It’s not too late to protect yourself and others.

Recent federal announcements about changes to childhood vaccine recommendations have raised questions for families across the country.

In a recent Denver7 interview, Bob Belknap, MD, MPH, Chair of the Public Health Institute at Denver Health, shared concerns about the uncertainty surrounding federal vaccine guidance and emphasized the importance of independent scientific review and equitable access to vaccines.

At Denver Health, our vaccine guidance and clinical practices remain unchanged. We will continue to follow evidence, prioritize patient safety and ensure families have access to trusted, science-based care. 💙

Public health is strongest when we all take steps to protect our community.

For National Influenza Vaccination Week, we want you to know we get our flu shots at Denver Health—to keep us healthy and to protect the patients and communities we serve.

Flu vaccines reduce hospitalizations, keep kids in school and help older adults stay healthy through the winter months. It’s not too late to get the flu shot and if you have questions, talk with a trusted health care provider who knows your health history and can guide you.

Together, we can strengthen community immunity this season.
