Mass. State Gov. trying to compromise minors rights (vaccination, religion)

Massachusetts holds hearings on bills.

1. S.1458/H.2151 - Allowing any physician to administer vaccinations to minors without parental consent or knowledge, with no limitations on age or intellectual ability. Furthermore, medical records pertaining to vaccinations would be concealed from parents.

2. H.471 - proposes to add two additional vaccines, the HPV vaccine and the Hepatitis A vaccine, to the list of required vaccines to attend school in Massachusetts.

3. S.1391/H.604 - would remove the religious exemption to vaccination, which would deny in-person schooling to children who desperately need it, including those from communities of color and underprivileged backgrounds, and those with special needs.

4. S.1391/H.604 - will also require all schools to report immunization and medical exemption data to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health
