WOAH 🚨 Connecticut Democrats introduce House Bill 5044 and Senate Bill 450 which will MANDATE a new vaccine schedule for children AND ADULTS “They wanna come up with a mandated vaccine schedule, not only for children, but for adults. And I think that is ridiculous to have to take away rights and freedoms that we fought hard for” - House Bill 5044 (Governor Ned Lamont’s proposal, introduced as part of the state budget): This would broaden the Department of Public Health Commissioner’s authority to establish “standards of care” for immunizations. It expands beyond just children to include adults, basing recommendations on sources like the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices - Senate Bill 450 (or Raised Bill 450, building on HB 5044): This goes further in some versions, explicitly adding adults to the immunization standard language, it also adds more sources to justify adding vaccines
