TNFV Statement: CDC Misleads the Public with New Autism & Vaccines Webpage ⚠️
Tennessee Families for Vaccines is a volunteer-led, grassroots network of family members dedicated to advocating for public health and evidence-based public policy and promoting immunizations for healthier kids and communities.
We’re a grassroots network of volunteer parents, grandparents, disease survivors, pediatricians, medical providers, teachers, school nurses, child care providers, and others who have organized to support strong public health legislation in our state.
Voters who support vaccines are the vast majority in our state, and we need laws that reflect our values. Tennessee Families for Vaccines works closely with a broad set of partners to combat misinformation about vaccines, educate legislators about the value of policy based in science, and support legislation, legislators, and candidates that champion public health and the greater good.
Action Alerts
Time is running out. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is accepting public comments now, and your voice is urgently needed.
RFK Jr.’s ACIP poses a serious threat to children’s vaccine access. His appointees—selected specifically for their anti-vaccine positions—now have the authority to reshape the recommendations families, clinicians, and communities rely on to stay protected. The upcoming meeting could trigger sweeping consequences for how Americans access vaccines and receive accurate, science-based information about immunizations. We need every pro-vaccine advocate to speak up now.
Use the form below to submit a brief comment. It’s important to write a comment in your own words because those statements are considered more seriously than form statements. Please refer to our talking points below the form and add your own perspective.
The deadline is Nov. 24 — please submit your comment today.
We are calling on fellow Tennesseans to add your voice to a critical message to our Governor and the Tennessee General Assembly.
As efforts in other states threaten to roll back long-standing vaccine protections for school-aged children, we must stand firm in our commitment to science-based public health policy. The letter below urges our lawmakers to reject any attempt to weaken Tennessee's school immunization requirements and to affirm the importance of vaccines in keeping our classrooms and communities safe.
By signing on, you help demonstrate broad, bipartisan support for maintaining these essential protections. Your voice matters—and together, we can ensure Tennessee continues to prioritize the health and safety of all children.
Please read the letter below and add your name in solidarity.
