Show Notes
Colorado Governor Jared Polis signs a bill to safeguard state vaccine policies from federal disruptions, allowing the State Board of Health to use recommendations from medical groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics and Family Physicians. The bill also maintains pharmacists vaccination authority and prepares for state funding if federal aid dwindles. This move comes after the CDCs recent changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, which removed six shots for high-risk individuals. Vaccine advocates support the bill, while a Republican state rep expresses concern about potential federal funding loss. With thirteen confirmed measles cases this year, mostly among the unvaccinated, Colorado aims to protect its residents without relying on federal guidelines.
