Tennessee once led the U.S. in childhood vaccines; a proposed bill would strip requirements

Since 1967, Tennessee has protected students, faculty, staff, and communities by requiring certain vaccinations for children to attend school but House Joint Resolution 28, by Rep. Gino Bulso, a Brentwood Republican, threatens to make these requirements unconstitutional. 

School vaccination requirements play a vital role in keeping diseases at bay. Measles eradication is a shining example of the success of such laws and the return of outbreaks like the current one in Texas is a chilling reminder of their importance.Let our General Assembly know they have the opportunity to choose the kind of example we want to be to the rest of the country, www.tnfamiliesforvaccines.org/action-alerts/
