An Act Promoting Community Immunity S.1458 & H.2151- Summary - English

The Act, spanning 9 pages, makes multiple complex changes to immunization policy and parental consent laws in Massachusetts.  The Act purports to improve and standardize immunization reporting but goes well beyond this reasonable goal.  It is wasteful, destructive, and has critical failings, including being at odds with two recent federal legal rulings concerning minor consent and religious exemptions.
