New York State is taking action to secure vaccine access for residents, independent of federal recommendations. Governor Kathy Hochul and top lawmakers are advancing two bills. One bill mandates health insurers cover vaccines endorsed by the state health commissioner, using recognized medical standards. The other removes federal panel references from state laws on school shots, newborn schedules, doctor orders, and Medicaid. These steps also expand pharmacists roles, allowing them to vaccinate children aged two to eighteen. The move comes amid federal vaccine advisory panel turmoil, with state leaders expressing concern over politics influencing science. New York is aiming for steadier, expert-driven vaccine rules tailored to proven standards.
